We were all aston-
ished enough when Nicholas
Birth: 1801-12-24 Death: 1893-02-15

made his appearance Friday
night– He says an Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02

thought of coming home

Jenny

comforters and blankets– the
receipts of the last two days
at Corning Hall– yesterday
Sarah How
Birth: 1843 Death: 1863-08-10
and I spent the
day there, to take them in.
The barracks are very good
ones , and the parade ground
a fine one– though muddy
from late heavy rains.
I hope Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
is regain-
ing his health. Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
is be-
ginning to talk of exchang-
ing his crutches for a cane
soon–
