William Fleming's furlough has come to an end and today he will begin his trip to return to the 130th. In his diary he said:
I remained at home visiting my old neighbors around the Grove untill the 3d day of Sept, my furlough being expired I was under the painful necessity of bidding my family farewell to return to the Army again, on the morning of the 3d I left for Vandalia and took the cars for Cairo, from thence to Orleans
