Dear E
I received a letter from
Amanda this morning and was in hopes
to have had one from you, but I supposed
I shall get it tomorrow or next day.
Charley Neil and George Chadwick
called to see me to day and stoped
about an hour. They leave for Washington
to night in the five oclock train, and are
also going to Gettysburg. I rather think I
shall get a furlough in the course of a week
or fortnight at the fartherest, I know you and
the children must have been disapointed
but it could be helped, And I think
it was as well that I did not get it at
