We have established a Seraglio at a place Vulgalarly callen Wyoma where we have super fine Kippen [prostitutes] Issued immediately on application. We draw on separate orders, I make my returns once a week and receive a full ration without giving a receipt for the same.

Benjamin Gilbert was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War whose kept a diary and wrote letters. The diary entries are terse and heavily abbreviated. They nearly always include a comment about the weather. There is very little information about actual fighting or battles, but they do frequently describe preparing to fight and moving from place to place. They contain information not usually found in descriptions of the typical activities of continental soldiers.
