I yesterday obtained leave of absence from camp for a few days for the recovery of strength in my leg. I expect in five to six days to be able to return to my duty, which I am anxious to discharge in such a manner as not to subject me to any ill-natured reflections. Here let me take notice that I am much obliged to Gen. Lawson for a particular kind of attention which he has paid me ever since I have been with him. As my acquaintance with him was very slight & I am conscious that my experience in military matters must make me sometimes act improperly, I think this acknowledgement due to a man, who is in general remarkable for a vigorous exaction of duty. Gen. Greene is also <h5>Verso</h5> very polite and attentive to the Virginia officers. We are as happy in these respects as our most sanguine wishes could make us.
