More soldiers from the New York 33d Voluntary Infantry visited visited home 150 years ago, only two or three months before their two year commitment would be completed.
From a Seneca County, New York newspaper in March 1863:
LIEUT. PRICE BAILY of Co. A, 33d regiment, returned home on Monday, on furlough. LIEUT. BAILY is looking remarkably well. He brings good accounts of the gallant 33d.

From a Seneca County, New York newspaper in 1863:
Lieut. Brett at Home.
Lieut. Brett, of Co. C, of the 33d, has been at home for a few days past, and returned to-day. The Lieut. is in good health, and does not look as if he had suffered any from the war, notwithstanding the trying and perilous positions, both as regards hardships and danger, in which the 33d has been placed. Co. C has suffered comparatively but little, and we hope to see them all return home when their term of enlistment expires, which will be in May next. – Waterloo Observer.
Even after the 33d mustered out, Robert H. Brett was not going to stay home long. From the New York State Military Museum and its roster of the 1st NY Veteran Cavalry:
Seven months as a cavalryman
