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

Downing’s Civil War Diary.–Alexander G. Downing.

Sunday, 14th–A hot, sultry day. There is no news of any importance. We are giving close attention to the very sick and the severely wounded, some of whom are dying every day.

A Set of Resolutions.

          Resolved, That I may from this day learn something new from the Scriptures every day, and that I may obey the laws of God as near as I can, in entreating my fellow men, and in doing good for the Master’s sake.
          Resolved, That I may once a day or more offer thanks to my Savior for his help; and, above all, that I may try to live a true Christian until death. May God help me so to live, is my prayer.
