I caught cold last
night, and feel a little slim to-day. Lew Holmes got a pass for himself and me
to go down town and that cured me. The run about in Hudson with the nice fresh
air of to-day, together with a five-day furlough, which was given out to-night,
has worked wonders for those that were lucky enough to get them. It seems the
men are all to have a five-day furlough, but not all at once. The Amenia crowd
drew first prize. I am delighted to go, and yet there will be the good-byes to
say again, and I don't know after all whether I am glad or sorry.
