glad to hear that you
was well & hope you may
continue to enjoy good health.
I recd. a letter from my brother
Conrad last week. Tell him
I will answer it as soon
as we get settled again.
I am in hopes by the next
time I write to you I can
tell you that we have had
a fight & cleaned the secesh
out. We have been in this
place so long that we have
nothing to write any more.
I think after we move we
will have something new
to tell. I have nothing more of
any importance to write at this
time so I will close. I will
write again as soon we get
to our stopping place. Hoping
that this may find you well.
I remain your affectionate husband
