Wishes them a happy new year. Generally wakes up at about 5:30; lies there until 6:00. Then gets dressed, cleans up, and makes his bed. Gets breakfast, then walks around a little until 9:00 when the surgeon comes. Goes to sleep at 8:00 PM and sleeps very well. "My arm don't pain me as much at night as it used to." Has not left the hospital grounds since arriving here. Christopher Colson, a member of his company, is at the hospital in ward 5. He was examined today to see if he was ready to return to his regiment, and will likely do so within the month. "He don't want to go, but I wish I was going, for I do hate hospital life." Gets tired from writing, but will write again very soon. Written at Dale General Hospital .
