While hard at work
in the woods, hauling stocks for the mill, my furlough came, for eighteen days.
So I was relieved. On the 3d I left camp and got home on the morning of the
6th. It took me several days to get accustomed to living as a civilian, as I
have been in camp for two years at a stretch. I had a very good time, and will
always be grateful for the kindness shown me by every one while at home.
