JUNE 3, 1865:
Leander Harris writes to his wife
regarding his mustering-out from the U.S. Army:
Dear Emmy,
You will no doubt be
surprised at receiving this, if you received my last, for you will have been
expecting me for some time . . . I would not have written as I did, but . . . I
cannot tell now when I shall be likely to get started. The reason, as near as I
can learn, is that we are waiting for a Pay Master to pay us off, before we
start . . . So you need not look for me till you see me.
In regard,
Leander
