a fiew lines. I arrived safely in camp on the 21 and have
been improveing in health ever since. We have a
very nice camp and the water is very good. Our Comp
numbers sixty odd at presant; more than we have had
presant for some time past. I hope providence may
smile on our armies and bless us with health. I found Brother John looking badley again. I was fearful he was taking the fever but
think he is somewhat better today. Charles has returned to the camp at last he
was to see grand ma. he says he had a
grate deal of pleasure. I tried to shame him for
treating us all so badley by not writing. he wrote home to day for the first time for
the last six months I believe; We have to drill twise a
day. Mr. Robt Taylor recieved his discharge to day being over thirty five years of age. he
has been a good soldier and I am glad to see him get of
honerably. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
