with Col. l. w. Avery, of Georgia, which

home, which l gladly accepted for there

While recuperating from my wounds 1
became acquainted with a young confed-

He was a prisoner but allowed the free

his command to resume fighting. and /

This was a hard thing to do, but l
finally got our generals consent to this

the release of a certain union colonel the
confederates had captured, he might re-
main with his own people; he was ato be
passed through the lines, and if he failed
TO have the federal officer released inside
of thirty days, then he was to come back

heart-broken at his failure. He would
