| Text | February 14, 1863, was wash day for the soldiers, so there was no drilling, only some fine games of “Bull-Pen”, “Cat”, and “Stick-it-to-him”. The men pitched in like schoolboys and had a very enjoyable time. The exercise was so beneficial and so pleasant on a mild, bright, and beautiful day, after being kept housed up in their tents by wet and cold weather. Two days later, there were games of “Bull-Pen”, “Cat”, and “Town-Ball," going on all day except when drilling.
