	Dear Father   I feel so well that
I thought I would write and let you
know how I. am this morning I feel almost
well I am weak yet of course.
I came back to camp yesterday it is more pleasant
staying in camp than at a private house.
Our Regiment is in Col Moores Brigade
they say that our Camp is called Camp
Jewitt    we have a very good camp ground
Sunday I saw about five hundred Rebel
prisoners they were an awful sight indeed
no two dressed alike some old grey headed
men. some very young dressed very poorly
indeed.
	I have been in the Galt house
the house that Gen Nelson was shot in.
by Daviss.   this is a very large city indeed
     I must close     give my love to all
		Your Obedient Son
