Took the inspected horses to Quartermaster Stone and turned
them in — 79 to be receipted for by Lt. Spangler. Had a good bath. Read several
articles in the Atlantic. My eyes are occasioning me considerable
trouble. Have thought of home a good deal today. Many of the officers are
thinking of going home when their three years' term expires. Of course it would
be pleasant to go home as soon as possible, but many officers promised their
men that they would remain with them. I don't know what I shall do. I could not
go to Oberlin to stay and I have no desire to go elsewhere and I think for the present
every man able should bear arms.
