Dear Companion
I take the present opertunity of
writing you a few lines to let you know that I am well at this
time Hopen these few Lines will find you well I have nothing to
write at this time more than I have in a letter the other day
But as Jeptha Ledford was going to start home this morning I
thought I would write again Marion is about as he was with his
pains Thim William Curtis Ledford M.J . Nix R. Gibby will all be
discharged in a short time as they arnt able to stand camps and
I don’t think that Robert Abernathy will ever stand camps for
his legs swells verry bad the most of the boys here thinks that
pease is close at hand and I hope it may be so we all can get
home to stay there
(pg 2) We have orders to keep
three Days Rashens cooked and on hand all the time and be Ready
to march in one hours time but where we will go when we march I
can’t say some says that we will go in Kentuckey and some says
home and some says to Savaney but I cant tell Wher we will go
Marion Lost all his thing as he come back and I never got the
potatoes that you sent to me and he had Bought me Some tobacco
and Lost it But I had some tobacco and some money I got Liberty
one day to go out and I got some apples and peaches and brought
them in and sold them for three Dollars and forty cents and
could a got more to sold by the Dozens so I will close for the
present time Good Bye for a while
