Left Pcrryville.
Orders came for us to be removed to Lebanon hospital; so the same day we were
shipped aboard our army wagon train and arrived in Lebanon about 4 o'clock in
the evening, and were happily received and met by our General Starkweather, who
came to see us for the first time from the front, and sympathized with us for
our wounds, and thanked us kindly for our good behavior in the battle. This
will show that we remained in the hospital above mentioned eight days, and in
this one four days. Making a march of 20 miles.
