Darling Wife.
My Mary.
I am writ=
ing my last letter from Camp
Stoneman. I hope forever.
It is now midnight and we
are to be at the depot at seven
in the morning. I was in
town to day and drew my
pay four hundred and fifty
eight dollars seventy five cents
for three months. I send you
a check on New York for
three hundred cost seventy five
cents. it ought to be
[ ? ]
at Grand Rapids. I thought
it would be cheaper than
sending by express.
If you will bold yourself
in readiness to come to
Clarke. I think I shall
order you to Harrisburg soon
will write you as soon as
possible.
Ever Your
a kiss
