Dear Father
Your letter of
the 12
th has just arrived
& I have this moment mailed
a letter th the Express Agt
at Nashville to have my box
stoped there untill farther
orders. I think it will get
through all right we are on
the move now which you
see by my adress & we expect
to stop some where near
Nashville. I will write as soon
as we get to our stoping place
the talk is now that we are
going to Alexandria near
Nashville. there was 150 drafted
men for our Regt from Mich
igan met us here & we have
stoped for a day or two to
Straiten them out there was
none from Calhoun County
So our company did not take
any of them. we get our pay
to morrow if nother happens
I shall feel very proud of my
box if it gets through safe
I shall have to close but be
sure & give my best wishes
to all those concerned in
my box. I received Libbies

answer it tomorrow.
I am not very well at present
