                     Good afternoon
How do you do this afternoon. It
is Sabbath day and as
fine a day as we have
had in a long time
This morning we moved
our camp about a
mile South of town it
was north of town
                       we stopped
there is where^ [crossed out] [it was]
when the boys came
back from craborcha
-rd I think we shal
stay here a while now
by our moving camp
I was in hopes we would
go back to Danville
before we stopped again
but I do not boss the
business now days.
About your going to mass
I think it will be a 
fine affair if you are
able to stand the journey
and if you will use
my money [crossed out] [to] you. are
welcome I had just
as lives you would use
it as to use it myself
and rather to if you
do not want to use
it to pay fare you
may for spending
money use it just as
though it was your
own.
I suppose you will
think I am sick if
if I do not say some-
-thing about it I have
got a little cold is 
all that is the mat-
-ter. I wish you would
make Jerrie behave he
is laying here beside 
me cutting up all
the time. The boys saw
some large hills Jerrie
says he should think
they went 3 miles
up ahill he says he
saw chestnuts trees
3 feet through and some 
of the boys saw a sump
4 feet across. but
the boys are going to bed
so I will stop for
tonight. good night.
Monday
Good Morning.
How do you this morn-
-ing I am well the
boys are generaly
well I believe
it looks now as
though it was going
to be a rainy day
when it rains and
the boys stay in
camp the most of
them have a chance
to lay in their tents
but those that have
got to do duty have
got to go rain or shine
but there is nothing
like being used to it
you know. and if a sold
-ier is not used to it I do
not know who is but as
long as I keep well I can
stand it with a good
morning I will wind up write
soon and oblige your brother J.W.
