Edinburg, Oct. 7, 1864.
About leaves; that is a thing I don't like to do, — come
away from the field before winter-quarters, — especially with a new command, —
even if we go into winter-quarters for a few weeks soon. I feel as if I ought
to devote myself to my command, — I should certainly be missed then.
