and the Sun shone bright and cheerful- Seemed more like Spring than Winter- I am afraid I wont get any Sleighrides again this winter- dont have Snow enough down here- I may be so fortunate as to get a furlough before Sleighing is over and come North either to Ill or Penna, Mag wants me to come there when Curgus comes home says she will give us a big party- I would like to go very well but I dont belong to myself just now, cant go and come when I please + have to do as Uncle Samuel says. My contract with him will end in the course of eight or nine months and I dont believe I am Abolitionist enough yet to renew it. I think from the way things are progressing now, "the rebellion is on its last legs" as old Prentiss says, Thomas is letting old Hood get up near Nashville and the first thing Hood will know some of these fine mornings he will be "Bagged"- The latest dispatches I have seen from Sherman he was moving triumphantly on- Capt Fidler has just been a bothering of me, pounded me over the back with a rule- he is the bigest torment ever was, when ever he comes in our room he commences his capers- he is so little I can pick him up and throw him around any way
