the first of next month

and then they will probably

put me in to one of the

Batalions of the Invalid Corps,

as at to examination they have

set my [Mance] down for that.

But let her rip I dont care

drawing near when "Richard

will be himself again"

And makeing more that the

paltry sum of thirteen dollars

a present when we are paid

off. Tell Tave and the

rest to write and believe

me dearest yours most

          Truly
