Dear Friend
I am now going to
write a few lines to pas
off time maybee you get
more letters from me than
you can find time to
read but if I dont get
any I am going to write
til I do I got a letter
from Louisa yesterday
or it was pretended to be
from her but it dont
look lik her hand writing
and I think there is
something wrong in the
wind but I dont know
please ask Louisa how
many letters she has
wrote to me and if she
wrote that which was in
your letter and if
you
she wrote that she never
wrote the last one and
it was sent in Reams
letter and he says
that he knowns that
it was not from her
and I think there is
some
[ ? ] going on
but let them work
tell Louisa that if she
wants me to direct letters
to her or not I have not
had any letter in sometime
please read the other
side first for I made
a mistake and wrote it
first but there is worse
things hapend than that
in the army. I am now
in the convilesant
wa
ward and I am geting
along good and will
probably be on Camp by
the time that I get the
answer to this you will
find a card in this
letter if nothing hapenes
tell Olive that she
must anser that letter
no more at present
