Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Tuesday, September 8, 1863

Captain McLoney is going home for thirty days and there are still others from our regiment going on furloughs. We have no drilling, dress parade, camp guard or picket duty to perform, nor yet fatigue duty — our whole duty at present is to help care for the sick boys.
