Little Rock, Ark. May 17th 1865 Dear Brother Add, What do you think? Have I not come far enough from home for the present? I think so at any rate. When I started I did not intend coming in this direction at all but as the company that I was with started the same day that we arrived in St. Louis, I was obliged to do so for I did not have enough money to lay over a week in St. Louis which I would have had to do if I had laid over.
