Camp near Jackson March 24th
I have not seated myself
to reply to any letter but to let you
know that we are all well & feel
well today is Sunday & we have
been paid off but only got
two months pay I would send
it to you by mail but am afraid
to for fear of losing it
Tomorrow morning we leave
here for 5 days on a scout
but you must write just
as often for they will come
& when they do they are perused
with the greatest of pleasure
Jane I can tell you that you
may believe that I would like to
see your likeness & Trudys &
would like to see the original
Jane I cant write much to night
for it is late & we leave at six in
the morning but it will let you
know how we are getting along
Ed has not been very well
for a few days but he is
all right now He received
a letter from Andrew Coch
ran they were all well hope it
will not be long before we may
go home once more to enjoy
our homes & friends socials

Henry Chatfield ten for
Ed no news of much impor
tance but the report is that
one of our trains of cars have
been taken between here &
