Huntsville Ala Sunday June 19th 1864 
   Dear Wife 
I again Sit down to write you a few lines to inform 
you that I still think of You; my health is about  
the Same as when I last wrote: I rec'd a letter from 
you this morning dated May 31st but I got 
   [crossed out] [June] 
one a week ago dated [crossed out] [May 3] June 5th so I did not 
get mutch news to day; I was afraid those flowers 
would get mouldy before they got through to Wis __ 
the Reg't come up from whitesburg yesterday. Our Div 
are now under Marching Orders and will probably Join 
Sherman at the front soon; [crossed out] [The bo] Some of the boys 
sent home part of their money yesterday I Sent Two 
           in viroqua 
hundred Dollars it will go to Lincoln ^ and you can 
get it there; Ed Rogers Sent Some to Elias So you can 
go or send an order with Elias when he gets Ed,s money 
you will have to pay the Express charges there 
     I loaned Robert Mc a hundred Dollars; or else I 
would have sent three hundred; Robert did not draw 
his pay last pay day: the boys in the company are 
as well as usual; Will Cleary is lying beside me on 
the bunk as I write indilging in a sound sleep and 
from appearence is dreaming of the girl he left behind him
Will and Mary have been coresponding again by 
letter for sometime and he intends going to Iowa 
when he gets his furlough and probably he and 
Mary will tie up before he comes back; Joy go with 
go with them so say I; Mary wrote to Alvin that she 
thought I was Joking in what I wrote to her about Will 
over a year ago; It was nothing however to me and of course 
She can Exercise her own Judgement but she may 
yet see the point of the Joke in a different direction. 
none of Caulkins folks have sent any word to me by 
Alvin for a long time perhaps they dont thank me for 
what I wrote: but if they dont' I did not charge any 
thing for it: so it will cost them nothing! I rec'd a 
letter from Isaac yesterday the folks were well no  
news of importance    . I have no news to write 
to day in your two last letters you seemd to be looking 
for me home but we have not started and I will 
now put off the time to the first of November 
So you can again begin to look for us about that 
time; Our Reg't is generally at the tail end of every 
thing except in a fight and there it is generally 
put in a head but Our time will come after a 
while: I Remain Ever Yours Truly
