Pioneer Corps. 3rd Div 15th A.C. 
     Huntsville Ala Feb 22nd 1864 
             Dear Lucinda 
I Sit down this pleasent afternoon 
to write you a few lines to let you 
know that I am in my usual 
health hoping this may find you well 
We are now repairing the Rail road 
between Huntsville and Decatur 
and we will probaby have the cars 
runing from Nashville to 
Huntsville via the Nashville 
and Decatur Road in a few weeks 
we have had considerable cold 
wether here for about a week but 
the wether has changed again; and 
to day it is so warm that I am 
sweating as I sit in my tent 
writing; I think we will have rain 
soon as the air seems so soft and 
heavy; I have not Rec,d a letter from 
you since I wrote before; but I 
thought I would write so that 
you would get a letter from me every 
week any way; The 18th has not 
yet been Mustered into the veteran 
Service but will probably be in a 
few days but I hardly think they  
will get home on furlough this Spring 
Feb 25th  64 
Well Lucinda I will now finish 
my letter; I was called on duty 
while writing the above so I did 
not finish it; I Rec'd a letter from  
you on the 23rd Dated 7th and 
mailed 12th Inst I was verry glad 
to hear that you was still well I 
think I feel better this Spring than 
I have Since I came to Dixie but 
Still I am not as stout as I should 
wish to be I was at the Reg,t yester 
day Jim Kingston and John Chaney 
has got to the Reg,t Jim Kingston 
was sick with the measels but the 
wether is pleasent and with 
the propper attention he has I  
think he will soon get over them 
The officers were fixing to have 
the reg,t or the veterans Mustered 
they Still think they will get 
their furlough this Spring but I 
think it is yet Doubtful So you 
need not look for me until 
you see me coming; and do not 
be frighted if you do see me coming 
I Rec'd a letter yesterday at the 
Reg,t from Brother William he is 
at cleveland 40 miles east of Chatt, 
on the Knoxville R.R. his Reg,t 
has gone the veteran ticket and gone 
home; Will would not go the veteran 
so they put him into the 75th Ills 
Reg,t while the 57th went home on 
furlough he wrote that he was 
well and thought he could stand 
it the Remainder of his Term 
The wether continues warm and 
pleasent and leaves are 
begining put forth [illegible] that 
Spring is approaching; our Corps 
was paid last week and I collected 
part of the money I had standing 
out but I will not send any home  
until I know whether or not [crossed out word] I 
will go home this Spring; we got the  
Bridge finished that we was working  
at and we have moved 2 miles 
farther from Huntsville 
I see that some of the first veteran 
Reg;ts are Returning to the army: but 
those that left our Division furlough 
will not be back until about the 15th 
of March. There is no military 
movements of importance going 
on here at present but we will have 
a large field of Opperations in 
the spring   .I must Close 
I Remain Ever your faithful
