Yesterday and to-day
I have been fixing to get away from here and join the regiment. Captain
Wooden's mother from Pine Plains came in to-day and I am full of home news. I
kept her answering questions as long as she staid. Andrus says I must not think
of going yet, but if I get a chance I'll show him. Doctors don't know it all. I
have had such good care and such nice warm quarters I am really myself again,
only not quite as strong as I was once. My clothes don't fit very close yet,
and if the looking-glass in the wardroom is correct I have had something that
has made me look rather slim.
