June 4, 1865---"I hope to be home before long."



JUNE 4, 1865:           

The slow process of demobilizing the Union armies continues. From camp in Tennessee, Private William Doggett of Michigan writes to his sister:

. . . Officers are making out pay rolls now for the months of March and April.  There is talk of going to Louisville, where we are to be reviewed and paid off but I hear so many rumors that I hardly know what is going on but I hope to be at home before long . . .
