This has been the first pleasant day I've seen in Vermont
since I came home; met Captain P. D. Blodget on the street; was glad to see him
for he is a nice, fair man. His wounded arm is looking very badly; do
not think he will ever return to the regiment again. I went up to the hospital
with him and he gave me an introduction to Dr. James who examined my wounds and
gave me a certificate for thirty days extension of sick leave; have been up to
the State House this evening to hear Mrs. Chester read.
