is tribe have done if from one to two hundred thousand men would have marched home? I would help, any soldier to desert. If the Government does not do its duty a soldier ought not to do his either. I expect a scolding from you for talking so, but I can't help it. I'll ran down Lincoln and his friends in Congress before anybody, and if I should be arrested to-morrow. I do not think the whole ship and crew of them are worth one cent. I wonder whether you won't come home on a furlough by Christmas or New Year, or some time soon, I do wish you would try. Father would like to see you, too. He has asked Aunt Louisa several times whether you ever said anything about getting a furlough. He thinks you ought to get one. He is doing splendid.
