The Col. just sent for me to come to his quarters, and on going there
I found Dr. Parks there thier business being to get me to go to Windham and see
the Dr. & see if I could not get him to go as Asst. Surgn. of this Regt.
Col. Veazey told me that he recd a letter from him last night declniing the
appt. Dr Parks was very anxious to have him go & the Col. told me I might go
up there and see him this afternoon if I wished. Of course I am glad to get a
chance to go to Windham and shall tell the Dr. just how it is and he can do as
he pleases about
coming. The Surgn. & Col. both told me that if
the notice was short for him to leave on he could have more time given him &
come on after the Regt. Realy I dont expect he will change his mind in regard to
going but of course I am willing to go and see him. – There is a fellow down
here from Windham and tells me I can ride within 2 miles of the Dr’s with him
this afternoon so of course I shall go. I shall probarbly come back to B-
tomorrow. I think now we shall not leave here before saturday tho possibly we
may friday. I suppose I cannot get a furlough to come home again. I could not
get this one to go to W- if it was not for going to see the Dr.
