We quilted busily all day. Very cold. Cousin Temple Cutler, who has been preaching the last two years at Skowhegan, Maine, has been elected chaplain of the ninth Maine regiment now at Hilton Head. His church say that if he goes he will find a place there when he returns. He will probably go. Our great grandfather, the Rev. Thomas Balch, was appointed Chaplain by the "Committee of War" to the Expedition sent to Cape Breton in 1744, in which service he spent sixteen months. Grandfather was also Chaplain to Col. Francis and also to Gen. Titcomb's regiments in the Revolution.
