Our last furloughed men have returned, and I have the promise of one next week, and am congratulating myself on the prospect of once more seeing home. I am anticipating a great deal when I get home; among other things the pleasure of once more sitting down to a clean, well-spread table, with a good square dinner before me. In anticipation of such an event, I send by this mail a small bill of fare of such dishes as I think I shall relish, and have ordered them to be ready and smoking hot on my arrival:<\/p>\n<h5>Roast\u2014Sirloin of beef, spare rib of pork, breast of veal, turkey with cranberry sauce, chicken.<\/h5>\n<h5>Baked\u2014Bluefish, oyster dressing. Chicken pie.<\/h5>\n<h5>Boiled\u2014Halibut. Fried\u2013Pouts.<\/h5>\n<h5>Chicken salad. Lobster salad.<\/h5>\n<h5>Oysters\u2014Stewed, fried, escalloped. Clam chowder.<\/h5>\n<h5>27 dozen Providence river oysters on the half shell.<\/h5>\n<h5>Mashed potatoes, boiled onions, beets, turnips, squash, sweet corn, string beans, succotash, stewed tomatoes, tomatoes sliced with vinegar or sugar, apple dumplings with sugar sauce; mince, apple, berry, lemon, cream and custard pie.<\/h5>\n<h5>Also one moderately sized pumpkin pie, say about thirty-six inches across and not less than eight inches deep; that is as small a pumpkin pie as I care to bother with.<\/h5>\n<h5>Oranges, apples, pears, grapes, chestnuts, walnuts, cider.<\/h5>\n<h5>N. B. No boiled salt pork, beef soup or rice and molasses. I don&#8217;t hanker for that.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span>With that bill of fare, and such other things as my folks will naturally think of, I reckon I can make a tolerable dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Furlough.
