Morris Sept 18th 63
Friend Dick,
I recd your
short but pointed epistle
written immeadiately
after your arrival at
Camp Douglas. some time
since, and have defered
answering it untill the present,
not exactly Knowing whether
you intended it for a
friendly letter, or a more
business letter telling me where
to direct your letters, but as
I have recd. nothing further
from you, and being anxious
to Know how you flourish
in your new abode, I
concluded to trouble you
with a line.
