Dear Friend

I once promised to write you & as often as convient

So far I have fullfulled my part. Since my joineing My Regiment It has been nothing but marching & fighting the Johnnys. I can say that we are enough for them if not too much

There has not been a fight but what they have been worsted

Our Cavalry forces have started on an other raid of 10 days rations

I left the Regiment last Monday. The reason of my leaveing was because I could not see to ride or walk. I was poisioned how or in what manner I can not tell.

I will write to you as often as possible Even if it is pencil marks

I hope that this may find you enjoying good health Give my respects to the inmates of Ward. A, of Armory Square Hospital & tell Thom. Woodwurth that I would be very glad to hear from him. I will close by hopeing to see you before long
