Diary of Morris Dilts dated 1861. Starts on January 1, 1861, but large chunk of diary is missing ( February 15-May 27). He does not consistently begin recording until August 26. In his diary he describes his troop's movement, camp life, camp chores, the weather, regimental inspection of arms and horses, and recipes for spice cake and eye water. At the end of his diary, he notes the dates of letters he wrote and to whom they were addressed, as well as a list of expenses.
