Yours came to me on Friday last much sooner than I expected

Because my being so negligent of course I supposed you would act the same to me

Last week I was sick so that the house was obliged to hold me very tight It is kind of a curious thing for me. I can not go out in to the open air with out taking cold

Perhaps you will call at Armory Square when in Washington. I have been thinking about going there this winter to wile a way some of these lonesome days

My Folks have some objections to my going where I have been so often for the last three years. But there is nothing like geting used to a thing or too

The least stormy weather here drives us in to the house—But the rainyest night on Picket in Virginia we had to stand any how. Even a snow storme or too we have had here then I thought about being by the side of a snug fire all curdleed up in a little heap half froze to death

A good warme bed a fellow gets at home besides other fixens throwed in. I hardly evr thought of these when I Enlisted & perhaps I may try the self same opperations again. This is a curious world to live & sport in There will be no Young ladies after this war closes.

Because they are a fraid some of the loved ones will come home crippled & they will Marry while they think about it Mostly of the Softer Sex will be old Maids waiting so long. I presume some of them are tired

Yes I will tell her all about you one of these times & that before she is Married which wont be a great while. Well Uncle I hope this may find you still alive & well

My best respects To you, My Uncle Adieu till next time
