	Dear Mother 
			I received you letter 
dated December 29th and was very 
glad to hear from you I am very much 
surprised that you have not heard 
from me yet as the first letter I 
wrote since we have been here was 
dated Dec. 3rd so there was a plenty 
of time for a letter to get through 
I sent you fifty dollars in one letter I
am in hopes that that has got through 
safe. Our Division is going to be left 
here in the city to do garrison duty. 
we expect to move in in a day or two
There is several of our men that was 
wounded at Jonesborough got back to the 
Regiment. We do not get much news 
here as the mail boat only comes up 
about once a week I would send you 
the paper but there is nothing in them 

and they cost ten cents apiece I have 
sent you several but I do not know 
whether you have ever received them or 
not. I have received one letter from 
Georgy since we have been here he 
was well at that time. The most of 
the regiment is going down town to 
work tomorrow. I expect to clear off 
a place to camp. There is nothing new 
here in camp only we have drill four 
hours a day and dress parade at 
night we drawed one days rations 
of soft bread to day for the first time
We are going to draw clothing tomorrow
Gen. Geary comander of the Post has 
regulated the prices in the city so that 
we can get things quite reasonable 
we can get things for half the money 
that we could when we came here 
Well Mother it is getting about bed time 
and I am at a loss to find any thing 
to write about so good night
Excuse this short letter and I 

     will try and do better next 
     time. Give my love to Father 
and beleive me your affectionate
son   William Bostock
