  Dear Wife 
I again assume 
the privelige this fine Sunday morning 
of writing you a Short letter in 
answer to yours of the 7th inst. 
which I rec'd last night: your 
letter finds me in as good health as 
usual & I hope this in turn may 
find you: We have had verry wet 
weather for over a week but the clouds 
have cleared away and the air is 
quite cool So that the fall weather 
is verry appearent 
Our Reg't came back last wednesday 
I Saw the Co as they passed here 
on their way to Alatoona the boys 
were all well but they had been

     marching through middle and 
     west Tenn for a month and 
they looked quite Rough and dirty 
The Regt will probably be paid this 
coming week and they will probably 
Start home next week or at least 
that Seems to be the calculation now 
I think we will be at home about  
the 15th of Oct," The 1st Wis Cavalry 
came here from the front on the 12th of 
Aug I am acquainted with several 
        in 
men ^ it and have been to the Reg't 
Several times and I could have seen 
your uncles Son if I had Known 
he was there I saw the boys get on 
the train when they went home. 
All seems quiet in this department 
at present the Rebs tried hard to 
tare up the RR in Shermans Rear 
but they did not affect mutch damage 
to the Road: they were around us quite

thick for a while but they were 
quite careful about attacking our forces 
along the road: Ed Rogers has not 
Rec'd a letter from Elias for more than 
 a month he thinks Elias is verry 
Slow about writing  . I heard that 
Bernett died of the wound that he re'c 
at Petersburg: Some of the boys got that 
news in a letter from Viroqua ___ 
I have not Rec'd many letters lately 
but I dont write [crossed out] [So] as mutch as 
I used to: I sent you my likeness 
Sometime ago but I supose you had 
not Rec'd it when you wrote I think 
I will bring you a picture before long 
as I have no neews of importance to 
[crossed out word] write to day I will close until 
another day    Ever Remaining 
      Yours Truly
