        Dear Wife 
I will write you a few lines this morning 
to inform you that I am as well as usual 
I arrived here yesterday at half past one PM 
and found that only three of my Co, here viz 
Lieut Carter, and Jasper Powell and Christopher 
Koher, This morning Capt McMichael T. Decker 
V. Mills, J.J. Ross and E Crandall, come in, 
They say that all on the Badax Remains 
about as we left it. we are in Camp at 
Camp Washburn and not half of the Regt 
here yet I dont know when we will leave 
here but I think not before the first of 
Next week. Milwaukee looks about as it 
did when I was here before So I have nothing 
new to write about the city 
  So I Shall not write but little this 
   time   I Shall look for a letter from you in a 
a day or two for I am anxious to hear how you 
got through    I will write again in a few 
days    Yours as Ever
