When we went into the house al most the first persons we met were men wearing the gray uniform, and the host introduced them to us as Confederate soldiers home on fur lough. At first we were just a bit disconcerted until our host assured us that all was on the square, that we need not fear any trouble, as they were home boys and had heard of our coming and for us to pitch in and have as good a time as we could, and we sure did have a fine time, a royal supper, and not a word was spoken'' to mar the peace and comfort of any one. When we left for camp we shook hands with the Confeds the same as any one else and bid them goodbye. It was some time before the officers found out about our going out, «in fact not until we had left Kentucky, con sequently we were not disciplined for having the good time, and leaving the Camp without permission.
