Henry's "teams were pronounced the best in the Corps by Maj. Gen. Stanley." He commands sixty men of his choice from the regiment. He expects they will stay here for a few months. John was killed and all the men miss him. Henry will bring John's wife John's remains if he can get leave. He remarks that "to be a soldier is to deny yourself of a great many things you would like to do and can not." Written at Ambulance Corps Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
