Corinth Miss Dec 26th ‘63
Dear Frow
I having waited for a reply to
my last letter untill I am tired
have made up my mind to w
[chewed away]
again it has been two weeks
since I have had a letter But probly
they have been detained on the road
some where the date was Dec 6th.
Let me tell you how I spent this Chris
tmas the most of the Co was out
on a scout but I having no horse
of course had to stay in camp
Edward Jelley & my self bought
a can of Oisters & had &an old
feast thought of home & wished
to be there but of course that could
not be Why do you ask if I am
a going to enlist again I never
wrote I was & I am sure I will be
fore I do I think by the time I serve
my time out that it wont hurt
some of the home pimps to take a
trip south how do they feel about
the January Draft I hope it will
make some of them come to time dont
you, or come down with their little
five hundred
What did Ruth say about the
money that Joe sent her Write &
let me know for Joe thinks it
strange that he dont hear from
it About the money due Crammer
you had better let him wait until
you can get it out of the nursery
for this reason it may happen that
you will kneed all of the money you
have for if I come home next
fall I will have to have all I can to
make a start again but hope
for the best & keep up courage is
all I can say for the future
All are well I belive Dave is some
