I want a chance to drill some of them bad,

But don't frett or worry, the less you do the

better you'll get along and the better I shall

feel. Jim is at Aquia Creek and is geting along

first rate I hear from him every day. and I

think I shall go down and see him Sunday

The weather is first rate rather warm but

very pleasant. But its near dinner time and

I must close this up, I will write again

Sunday or monday Tell Mose and Noll to

write, tell Tave and the girls to write also

                Give my love to all, while I

                get my dinner,

                             Yours Hungry as a  Bear

                                           Foster

P.S. My cloths are all right so dont

     frett about them. I had half a dozen

     different suits since we started.

     on the march, some times on the other

     side the river he had nothing onely, what

     we stood in, and when we left we had

     enough to last a year,       Foster
