      Dear Wife
	            I now seat myself to
write a fiew lines to you in answer to
yours of june 28th and july 10th which i
have just recieved yesterday. i am well
at present. and i hope when this reaches
you it will find you enjoying the same good
health. and all the rest of the greenbush folks
	I was glad to hear that my money
got home all safe and i am well suited
with the way that you have have put it
out. if John A. Barrington is good you
can let him keep what he has got until
we want it and the Ballance you can
put in the Bank if you choose or let
Barring have the whole of it that you can 
spare.
	There is one regiment of our Brigade
leaves here tomorrow morning for Brownsville
on the Rio Grande. and if that is where
they are going i think that they are on their
road home. and i think that we will
leave here soon for some place but i
cant tell where we will go. every thing looks
very curious here. we cannot find out any
thing all that we know is just the reports

      that we hear in camp and they are
not very reliable for when a story gets started
they never lose any thing by being told so
many times
	I heard this morning that one company
of our regiment was going to start off in
the morning with Gen Gibbs for some place
but i dont know where they are going. nor
i dont know what company will go but i
am in hopes that it will not be ours
for i dont think very much of any of the
officers. any more. they are all worse on the
men since the war has been over than
they was before.
	I had a letter from Will. of june
21st and he does not speak very well of their
officers now. he says that they act just as bad
as they can. i also had a letter from O.B. [Levy?]
and he wants me to wait on him a while
longer he says that he will pay me all that
he is owing me just as soon as he can, and
i had just as soon wait until i get hone
as not if i can get it then. and i will
write to hin and tell hin that i will wait
until i come hone. if he will get it for me as
soon as i want it or pay me the money
so that i can get it some where else.
	you spoke about having your hair cut

off and ask my consent. but i had
rather you would not cut it off until
i get home and then i will see about it.
i would not have you cut your hair off
for a hundred dollars until after i come
home and then we will talk about it.
	Now i must close for this time
write as soon as you get this and as
often as you can no more at present
but remain your Loving husband

    P.S. does Emil and Amanda live
together since he has got home or not.
