Dear friend
	       I recieved your kind
letter to day and i was glad to
hear from you it found me
in good health and enjoying my 
self very well and i hope when
this reaches you it may find you
in good health and good spirits
there you say you wrote two or
three letters to me but i never
recieved any of them for i
answer every letter that i get from
any one, me and Abe have
enlisted again for three years
longer or during the war 
we like it so well i think
we will stay in the Army 
the rest of our lives,
      it has been very cold here
      for a fiew days laterly but there 

      has not been any snow
here yet, you think if i dont
come home soon that the folks
will all get married but if they
do there is just as good fish in
the sea as ever was caugh out yet
i am not alarmed for myself
for i will not be an old batch
when my time is out which will
be in January .1867. but i may
come home before that time but
i am agoing to see this war through
with now since i have commenced
we have moved camp from corinth
to lagrange and we moved our
shanties and all of our stables
and every thing we had there
now i will close for this time
for i have a bad place to write
write as soon as you get this if
you please,
	        Yours very Respectfully,
		                 Wm. Eaegle
