Camp Co "K" 10" Mich Inft 
			June 1” 1865

	Dear Mother 
		          Again I embrace 
the opportunity to drop you a few lines 
although the drums have beat for us 
to go to bed but I am not sleepy so 
                                     I
I thought that my time ^ could not employ 
my time any better my candle is so 
dim that I can not see the lines on the 
paper so you must excuse me if the lines 
are not strait. We received orders to day 
to muster out all the men whose time 
is out before the first of next October it 
will take about half of our Company and 
we will only have about 15 men left in the 
Co” there is also a report in camp that all 
the Western troops are to be sent to Louisville 
Ky." and I understood that a part of 
the 15” A.C. have started already there 
is no telling when us Veterans will get out 
of the service but I hope it will not be 

long as I am sick and tired of this 
Soldiering. I received a letter from 
Georgy again last night but none from 
you. I also wrote to you yesterday. We have 
given up all hopes of getting pay here I do 
not now think we will get until we get to 
Louisville. there is nine Regiments of Non¬
Veterans in our Division to be mustered out 
imeadiatiy which will leave seven in the 
Div" all Veterans Our Brigade is all Vets
out there is only two in the other two Brigs 
and they will be put in our Brigade I 
think. The weather is extremely hot and 
we suffer a good deal with the heat 
	Well Mother I shall have to 
close this letter if you can call it such 
as my candle is most out. Give my 
love to Father and believe me your affect
