Battlefield May 13, 1864 Dearest Katie I rec’d your letter containing the button also one of the files and I have made a ring out of the button and will send it to you in this letter & lost the file before I got the ring finished so it looks rather ruff. The files were such as I wished, I shall look for the other by the next mail.
