Dear wife
	    I will now seat
myself to write a fiew lines
to you. in answer to yours of
the third. which i recieved
last night it found us all
well. and i hope when this
reaches you it will find you
enjoying the same good health
i was sorry to hear that it
was so sickly around there
this fall. but you must take
good care of your health and
not expose your health any 
more than you can help.
I think that i shall get
home this fall if nothing
happens. there is strong
talk of our regiment being
mustered out now soon.
there is men that says that

they have seen the order
for the discharge of the regiment
and the boys are all (tickled 
almost to death) and if it
should not be so they would
feel considerable disapointed.
	there was about two
hundred indian warriors came
in here day before yesterday.
they came in here claiming
protection they are all painted 
up in style. the comanches
have whiped then out and
they are nearly starved to
death. they go around the town
and beg for money.
	    there was a lot of
mexicans cane in the city
yesterday and they had about
sixty camels. that is they
way that they move. there
is lots of them running
away from mexico and comming

to the united States to get rid
of the war in their own
country. I should like to
see Susan Wagner first rate
i expect that she has
grown so that i could
hardly know her. she was
a very small girl when i
was in ohio. if she has
not gone home when you
get this give her my best
respects, and her mother
also and tell her that i
will not get a chance to
eat that roast turkey that
she promised me when i 
left there. but it cant be
helped now.
	You had aught to have
seen steve when i told him
about Cornelia Batchelder, having
a girl. i thought that he
would jump out of his boots

there has been a detail 
from our regiment of
thirty men to go out in
the country about fifteen
miles to cut saw logs. our
lieutenant went and nine
men from our company.
	there is half of our
regiment in town doing provost
duty there. i saw lem the
other day and i showed that
paper to him but he had got
one before i saw him. he
thinks it is an awful thing
(well it is bad)
            the third and the fourth
Michigan infantry are here
they came here about one
week ago now i must close
for this tine write soon and
as often as you can for i
like to hear from hom often
no more at prsent but
remain your faithful husband
