Dear E

       I should have writen

yesterday, but as there was an

inspection I thought I would

wate and see what they would

do with me, Well they put my

name down for the First Batalion

of the Invalid Corps, So I shall not

see the regt again till the go home

but will do guard duty at the

Hospital. There is a story that they

are going to send the members

of the first Batalion to thier states

as soon as the Corps is farly organized

but you can't tell much by the stories

you heer.

I expect I shall go on duty to day

and must hurry his up as I may
