Letter to Father from Rob. They have very stormy weather and
the tents are not of the most comfortable under such circumstances. Cousin
Annie Greenough wrote to Aunt Katie that Dr. Sargeant (2d Mass. Vol. Reg.) has
just come up and left Rob with a very bad cough. He advised him to ask for a
furlough, but our dear soldier would not, considering, I suppose, that his duty
required his presence, and I like it much better that he should realize the
responsibility of his position.
