evening here. He is going into camp tomorrow with the 20th Regiment.
Monday 18th
Concluded to have our famous lake voyage today. Rose early. Got our things ready, and started about eight o'clock. It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed it exceedingly. Took our dinner about four miles from town, stayed there about three hours, rowed to the opposite shore and thence around the Lake, to McBride's Point by which time it was quite dark of a moonless night. We landed however, and spread our cloth for supper on the grass beneath the stars. Then we had any quantity of fun resulting from our efforts to spread our bread with pie and eat our honey with butter, concluded as the repast was entirely by the sense of feeling. I think I shall never forget the mistakes we made or the laughter caused by jokes at each other's expense. After supper we rested awhile and then started for home, where we arrived twenty minutes before one and found Ma in a terrible state of mind. I presume she never expected to see us again and she gave us a sound scolding for staying so late.
Tuesday 19th
Went to the office. Wrote all day, went to the Lodge in the evening. Gus was initiated tonight. Quite a number of persons there.
Wednesday 20th
Nothing out of the usual routine happened today. Mr. Gillett came into the office to show his captain's shoulder strips. I am glad he got the position, he makes a fine looking officer.
Thursday 21st
Campbell came home today. Marie came to tea and we went boatriding afterward.
