five taken for one dollar; I think they are not very good, but are midllng natural, still they are not taken well by a conciderable. I was out on a pass day before yesterday and got all the black berries I wanted to eat, there are no good apples here unless we go to the market and buy them. You spoke of it being a good thing if I could take a bath, there is a very nice room for bathing In each ward and hot water and cold both, so we can make the water as warm as we please, the water all comes in pipes and there is no fire in the Hospital only in the cook room and where the water is hot, which comes to each ward in pipes; this makes it very convenient to have plenty of warm & cold water to wash the wards. About furloughs, I do not have much to say, Monroe has been trying to get one this long time but can not at all. I think yet he may, I should be as glad to come home as any one but as long as I can not without running away I keep still when I make a strike for a furlough
