Parting Between the 21st and 24th.
We reached Vicksburg about the 21st of June and there took leave of the 24th Missouri, and returned to our own regiment, which had returned from its veteran furlough north. While we were with the 24th Missouri we became very much attached to the officers and men. The officers were courteous and the men true comrades.
In writing the foregoing account of the part taken by our brigade and regiment I have had nothing to aid me except my memory of the events narrated, in all of which I was an active participant. And in conclusion I now ask the charitable consideration of comrades and the general reader for any imperfections it may contain.
