Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyon’s Letters.

 

Feb. 7, 1864.—We have received our veterans’ furlough, and expect to leave here for Janesville the last of the week, with between 400 and 500 of the regiment; in which case we shall reach there about the 17th, and get home two or three days later. Jerry and Minerva will go home with us. They will make arrangements for housekeeping.
