I have been some what
sick. and I have put
It of on that account

but I think I will
be all right a gain
Jasper I don't know
of anything new to tell
you this morning every-
thing is perfectly quiet
here we cant hear of
anything, we only get
mail here twice a month
It so unraglar that we
cant tell when there is
anything going on
I think It depends altogether
on the army on the patomac
before we have peace here
but I cant hear of any
thing here I know this
that this state is well
cleaned out
I think Lewis Wellman

going to have one a comeing

something to go to bed two

Stove there is a

all he wrote me
