During the first month of academic work, neither Dick nor Greg had stood as high in their class as they had wished. This is often the case with new second classmen, who have just returned from all the allurements and excitements of their furloughs. "Are you studying very hard, Anstey?" asked Greg, turning around, as the Virginian entered the door. "Not very," drawled the Virginian.
But oh! to see them on the street together; to see him coming home on his furloughs I am sure I could not be but unfond of her then! I mind once I wished her dead, that maybe he might he might see something in me still. That was when Nan was born and " "What," cried Gilian, "and was he Nan's father? I I did not know." She turned upon him an old face spoiled by the memories of the moment.
With the furloughs, he arrived from Richmond the same evening that the conversation related above took place between the doctor and Alfred, and on the return of his friend from his wife's chamber, he presented him with his leave. "You are indeed a friend," remarked Alfred, "and I can never sufficiently repay the kindness you have shown me.
While in winter quarters, when many troops were granted furloughs, those men having no home to which they could visit like the others, were invited by members of the brigade to visit their own homes in South Carolina and remain with their families the length of their leave of absence.
BLACKHEATH, October 17, 1763 MY DEAR FRIEND: The last mail brought me your letter of the 2d instant, as the former had brought me that of the 25th past. I did suppose that you would be sent over, for the first day of the session; as I never knew a stricter muster, and no furloughs allowed.
As the war went on the hardships everywhere grew heavier and heavier; the letters from home came oftener and oftener. Many of the men got furloughs when they were in winter quarters, and sometimes in summer, too, from wounds, and went home to see their families.
Their furloughs will expire about this time, and some of them should now be in motion for Clifton, whence they will march to Decatur, to join General Dodge.
He had come out to the River in 1842, and had spent twenty years of his life in Africa, with occasional furloughs home. He greatly interested me by a work which he was preparing.
And most of them perceived that as a reward for patriotism they might at least receive furloughs, and stood out for them. The details of the work of enlisting were very obscure and complicated. It was found that officers were endeavoring to recruit their own companies, and in their zeal had enrolled men who were already registered elsewhere.
I want you to push matters as rapidly as possible, and to do all you can to put two handsome divisions of your own corps at Cairo, ready to embark up the Tennessee River by the 20th or 30th of April at the very furthest. I wish it could be done quicker; but the promise of those thirty-days furloughs in the States of enlistment, though politic, is very unmilitary.
