Through Some Eventful Years by Susan Bradford Eppes

July 5th, 1862.—Brother Junius spent the day with us yesterday. He gave us such an entertaining account of the winter on the St. Johns. He likes army life better than he expected. He says he never was fond of hunting and when he has to really go “Man-hunting” he will not like it at all.

He thinks they will break camp about the middle of August.
