     Newton University Hospital

  Baltimore, Wednesday Morning Aug 26

Dear E

      I received yours of the

24th least night and thought I

would answer it this morning.

We are having nice cool weather

wind from the North, and more

like October than Aug: but we shall

probaly have some warm wether

yet but not like any thing we have

had I hope, For the hott spell

has played the mischief with

most of the amputated cases, though

it had no bad effect on me,

and my ankle is geting along well

but it will be some considerable

time before I shall be able to March,

and longer before I join my regiment

if they to go South Carolina, which they

probaly will after the draft in N.Y.
