My Dear Wife

I write to inform you that i am still injoying good health and i hope these few lines will find you injoying the same Blessing  i wrote a letter to you a few days ago but i was in a great hurry  i have moore time to day.  though i have had it rather rough since i have returned to duty but i dont expect much rest until winter setts in and we go into a permenent camp or Winter Quarters and if we have the luck to Build good quarters i shall have you to come down and spend the Winter with me.  but we have some hard months to go through before we can go into Winter quarters.

Dear Maggie  i have nothing new to add only that we have had two weeks of hard fighting since i have returned to duty.  but God has been with me and i am still safe

i hope this will find Lizzie much improved in health and that you and all the family are all injoying the Best of health as this leaves me at Present

Give my Love to all the Family

My Very Best Love to you
i am as Ever
Your Affectionate Husband
