My Dear Friend
You kind and welcome letter of the 8th inst reached me safe today which found me well & very glad to hear from you for I was anxiously awaiting your reply. I felt so lonely lying in camp with no excitement but at last your dear letter came which was indeed a healing talisman in writing & anxious hearts if ever I prize a letter it is when such circumstance I am satisfied there is no one who is more fond of communicating with dear friends than I am. Letter writing is a pleasant mode of binding a vivid remembrance of friends & I think I enjoy it as much
