Herman ate lunch with Ed Sawyer, an Amherst College man, after arriving back at the barracks. It was good to be home and to drive a horse again, and he thinks the new horse will improve under his father's care. He lost a button on his shirt and had to sew it back on. He writes about drills and being in the trenches. He hopes that his mother will continue to pray for him since he often needs it, and he enjoyed the apples and maple syrup from home.
