                                                   Dated June 15 

I Recd your letter last night ^ and 

was glad to hear that you was well 

I am in verry good health and I hope 

your health may [crossed out] [illegible] Continue as good as 

you Say it has been this Spring and 

Summer I have nothing of great 

importance to write to you this time 

I Started a letter to you four or five 

days ago I could write considerable 

in this but the mail is going to Start 

to the River in about an hour and I 

want to get this letter in the mail 

we are Still in the Same camp yet 

that I wrote you from last the 

weather down her is becoming quite 

warm you Said when you wrote 

your letter that the Weather was cold 

enough to Snow I would like to have 

such weather mixed up with the 
weather that we have here; it has 

not been verry warm here untill a 

week or ten days Since though we do 

not have [crossed out] [illegible] mutch work to do while 

it is So warm [crossed out] [illegible] it has not been So 

warm that we Suffer from heat  

yet Mrs Mc Micheal writes to Robe[illegible] 

that my letters are Behind his in date 

in Reaching you I do not know the Reason 

is unless they have been overlaid in the 

mails by Some means for I think I 

have been Just as punctual in writing 

as he has Robert [crossed out]and is writing to his 

Sweetheart as I write and we will 

Mail them togeather and See how they 

will come out; you wrote that you was 

afraid that we would be taken further 

Down South this Summer, I do not 

think that we will be taken any further 

South in the hot months I am of Opin 

ion that that we will be kept here for 

Sometime [crossed out] yet to come to do guard duty 

around corinth, I am getting tough 
      So that I can Stand the hot weather 

     quite well; you Said you wanted 

me to Send you a Sesesh for you to Kill 

I could dig you up plenty of dead Seseh 

that would Save you the trouble of 

Killing, I have not heard from Walt 

Odell yet yet Since he was Sent to the 

Hospital He is Slowly getting Better 

Ed Crandall is about well again 

as usual Alvin Caulkins and 

Will Cleary are well. I. was out on 

picket guard last night I was at 

the Houses of quite a number of 

Sesesh; But there was Scarcely any 

body to be found Except Women and 

children and Negro,s; three fourths of 

of the men are off in the Rebel army 

and, I Suppse [crossed out] the a great many 

of them would be glad to come back 

to their families if they could get a 

a chance to do So. I will write more 

about the Sesesh in my next letter 

as I have not time to do so now 
When you write after this Direct 

your letters to Corinth Misisippi 

18th Regt Wis, Vol, Company C 

and it will Save being Overhauled 

in the Mails So mutch I will 

close for the presan So Good Bye 

                               Tho. J. Davis
