 Description: Your very short, but withal kind letter of Aug. 18th, I recieved yesterday, and although there is no certainty of a chance to send it, I will reply to it today. You will forgive me for writing on so poor quality of paper, when I tell you that mine is all with the company wagon, and this sheet is all I could obtain out here in the woods. You will wonder why I do not oftenerwrite to you and what can induce me to remain silent for so long a time, I wrote you a letter a few days since, but could not send it until a day before yes= terday. —In it, I gave you a very hasty sketch of what we had been doing for the two or three weeks previous, and said "when we could remain 24 hours in a place, I had much to write you. Although we have remained in our present position for nearly forty eight hours, we know not how soon we may move three, ten or twenty miles, but I will do all I can in the interim. My health (notwithstanding the constant exposure) remains in excellent condition, which I consider somewhat remarkable, as the officers who are much better cared for than the men, and very many of the men are suffering from Colds. summer complaints, &c. Perhaps it is owing to your prayers, and your wish for me to care for my health.
