Soldiers’ Letter. [ ? ] Hosptal
Oct 19th 1864
Dear Sister I will
write you a few
[ ? ]
this after noon I am
fealing quite well
& hope this will find
you well tell
Grammother I got
here all right & I
send my respects to
her & I give my res-
pects to all inquiring
friends & then you
must set down &
write a little when
you git this & then
when I write again
you can write some
more & when I write
for you to send it
you will have a good
long letter I will close
