Dear Parents:
I will now try and write you a few lines. You must not
expect much. I suppose father arrived home this morning. My
wound is getting along finely, so Dr. Stephenson says. It
is still quite painful, and still continues running. I find
my expenses are going to be a good deal more than I
thought. I have to pay for washing the sheets my
shirts, and there is a great many dirtied. I have nothing
more to say now. Give my love to all.
Affectionately yours,
T. H. Benton
