    he gets my letter, and two, before

he has a chance to send it, as Mead

is tramping them over the old beat again

and will probably frig round a month or

two before any thing more is done, If Hooker

or McLellen had comand, and the army

were naked, Hell would be raised, but

its just as well and prehaps better, as it

is only send out the conscrips and let

them fill up the gaps for a while.

But I have groweled enough for

one letter, unless I have somebody to

growl at, and I end this by reminding

you to write often if its every other

day and let me know how you get

along, and rest asured that I shall

come home, soon at any rate,

     Kiss the children for me and give

     My love to all

                   Yours Truly
