Out again with a “General Pass” which means-liberty to come + go when I choose, reporting at camp once each day “til further orders”- This favor was granted yesterday at request of Uncle Winthrop who asked the General for it after breakfast - Gen’l Hunt’s answer was “yes of course you shall see him before dinner” - He himself wrote + left the pass in the Colonel’s office where I was called + rec’d it - You may be sure I was not slow in making ready to go - Uncle Winthrop + Aunt May arrived in a carriage the same instant + were ready for me at the camp entrance - We drove directly to West Haven reaching there at ½ past 4 PM - drank tea with Aunt E + the children staying there till 8 o’clock - I helped Uncle W. upstairs to his room in the hotel, heard two interesting [Page 2] letters from the little boys in Washington, then enjoyed a fine moonlight walk back to camp. I shall go to Bridgeport today to meet Lillie + should she not come, try again tomorrow. I feel right well all the time, and though my present circumstances are far from unpleasant, am quite ready to be off. “the sooner the quicker” This is an excellent season to visit Carolina. Romy is there. Though I would not have him reduced to the ranks for my sake, I confess I wish he were not so high above me just now. I suppose I must “line my straps” before renewing his acquaintance. It may be easier to wait for peace than do that. I can wait most cheerfully. The sight of commissioned shoulders does not make me hungry for like honor, since I see the class of men who bear them - good, bad + indifferent like us privates. Two or three captains in our camp are now under arrest for something or another. One large man about 50 years old was perched on a barrel head all yesterday, with [Page 3] a large placard on his back, “I went to church + got Drunk.” Only a few days since the same fellar had his sergeant stripes pulled off him, for a like offence. All this interests you amazingly no doubt., but recollect its all I have to talk about. You must expect camp scandal + little else, since your boy’s life is to be there. While in it, I pass most of the time lounging, but as much as possible with my limited bodily exercise in reading, or writing notes to my friends, not many of these last however. Walking up and down the ground is rather stupid business. thank fortune, over now since I have larger liberty. Morris Island drilling will exercise me plentifull, enough I’m thinking. This weather is delightful. Uncle + Aunt are through breakfast + about to take a ride in the morning air. Cornelius starts for Bridgeport presently. shall 4 hours of waiting there + shall take the life of Victor Hugo for company. Good morning - Your aff.
