On the 20th we turn
over our stock, saddles and bridles to the A. Q. M., 4th Division. We part from
our mules this time without any regrets, inasmuch as we need them no more,
having finished our work in the south-land. But the Seventh will ever feel
grateful to Major General Logan for permitting them to retain their stock until
their arrival at Washington, thereby saving them from a long weary march.
