May 29, 1863
I will merely state that I am well this morning and I am not on guard today.
It rained very hard last night and the wind blew a considerable gale. It rained in on us and wet our bed so that we had to lie on a wet bed last night. But we are getting so that we can sleep anywhere.
I seal all my letters with rice.
I want to smoke. So, I will quit until another time.
Just so, we keep the fleas and lice off. We are doing well, so we don’t murmur at anything that comes.
So, I will close. Give my respect to all the connection and friends, and receive my love to yourself and Mollie.
Good-bye.
Yours, etc.
