_Thursday, June 9._--On board the New Jersey. The journey resumed at four o'clock in the morning. Steamed down the York River, past Yorktown, Gloucester Point, up the Chesapeake Bay, dropping anchor twenty miles from Aquia Creek.
_Friday, June 10._--On board the New Jersey. Steamed up the Potomac early in the morning. Most of the men were below deck to clean up and put their new clothes on, reserved for this occasion by most of the old members, when we laid in winter-quarters near Brandy Station. Our captain, and the crew of the propeller, were quite astonished, seeing us come up in new uniforms. At three o'clock P. M., the propeller stopped at the Washington Navy Yard, landing eighty condemned horses. We left the vessel about four o'clock, at the foot of Sixth street, proceeding to the Soldier's Home, and remained at the barracks over night.
_Saturday, June 11._--Washington. We left at eleven o'clock A. M., in the express train. Came through Baltimore and Philadelphia, arriving in New York City by eleven o'clock in the night. We took up our quarters at the Park Barracks.
_Sunday, June 12._--New York City. We were at liberty to go wherever we pleased, until five o'clock P. M., leaving in the train for Rhode Island. Arrived at Stonington by twelve o'clock P. M. Owing to some accident, we had to stay there all night.
_Monday, June 13._--We left Stonington at daybreak, arriving in Providence at six o'clock in the morning. It is unnecessary to give a description of our reception in this book. I believe it is well remembered by the inhabitants of Providence, and the old members of Battery A.
_On Saturday, the 18th of June_, we were mustered out of the United States service, in Railroad Hall.
_On Monday, the 20th of June_, we attended the funeral of our lieutenant, Peter Hunt, who died from the effects of his wounds.
