Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry
    

A bible for the duration.–Alexander G. Downing.

Sunday, 29th–I went to meeting once more before leaving for camp. After preaching I went to Mr. Moore’s, remaining there the rest of the day and stayed over night with John Moore. John presented me with a pocket Bible which he asked me to carry with me.[i]


[i] I carried this Bible during my four years’ service and read it through four times.–A. G. D.
