Jamaica Plain, September 5, 1863.
H. J. H. and A. C. H. came here yesterday, — the former to
go back to college, the latter to the High School. They spent their vacation in
catching Morgan. They, with F. W. H. and the two B.'s, joined a Meadville
company which volunteered to go to protect Pittsburgh. When there, they were
sent to guard the line of the Ohio against Morgan's retreat, helped catch him,
and were sent to guard him on his way to Columbus. That is the way boys spend
their summer vacation in the States.
