Reports that New Year's Day passed enjoyably in the camp, where the "New York custom of calling on all your friends" was maintained. Although they "hear a good deal about secession, etc., it doesn't seem to oppress or weigh heavily on the spirits of the people in our camp." The camp continues to get news from the east, although the distance delays it seven to eight days. Written at Camp Floyd.
