November 30, 1864 Bowling Green, Kentucky Letter number nine Dear Wife, I will write a few lines tonight to let you know that I have not forgotten one who I know is thinking of me day and night. I am well and enjoying myself as well possible under such circumstances. We have been marching over two weeks and it is a hard pull for new soldiers like us.
