  Dear Father and Mother.
  I write these few lines to you hopeing to find you in good health as this leaves me in at present thank God.
  Dear Parents. the weather is getting very cold now out here. they talk of moving away from here and going to Baltimore, but I dont no know true it is.
  we have been paid to day. we received two months pay which is 26 dollars and enclosed you will find 25 dollars in Government notes.
  Dear parents we had a letter from Lieutenant Vassel who is a prisoner in Richmond Via. he states that there is twenty of the boys belong to our company in prison with him. the wounded are not in Richmond. they are is Leesburgh. he said in his letter that he saw Patrick Feagen three hours after the flight and says that he was wounded. he did not say anything more about him.

  Dear parents tell his sister about it and tell her that I am going to write to some of our boys who are wounded in Leesburgh and find out whether he is dead or alive. but I hope and trust in God that he is alive. I am almost sure that he is alive but I shall find out in a few days so as to be sure and as soon as I can find out, I shall write and let his sister no all about it. but I think that whe will see him in Oxford again and I hope she will. I miss him more than all the rest of the boys from our company.
  Dear parents I hope you and my brothers and sisters are in good health. I wish that you would write to me oftener than you do for I feel lonesome if I dont get a letter when the mail comes. Dear mother I have sent my picture by one of the wounded men that was going hime. he is a friend of Jonathan Dana and will leave it there for you. give my love to all inquiring friends. no more at present from your son
