March 26th 64
Mrs Dunckel by request
from your husband I will
write you a few lines he
has been quite sick for
2 or three days but is a gooddeal
better this morning he is soon
to be up around the house
he thinks he will be well enough
to go when the regiment does
he says he dont want you
to borrow anny trouble about
him I think there is no doubt
but what he will get well
in 2 or three
Tell lute that we want
him to do his best to get 
us a furlough to come home
a few days
