We had got as far as Belle Plains. We have been shipping troup from here to South Carolina but there is still a large force here. I'm in better health than I have been in four years before I came to the army. My folks at home are all well or were when I heard from them last. I get a letter from them once a week.
Mother still keeps well and lives on the old place near Bowling Green Wood County Ohio.
I beleave you say you have a brother in that regt. I have seen several cavalry Regt from Michigan. I must leave off this subject and bring my letter to a close. Are you and your husband going to make any sugar this spring. I wrote a letter to my Aunt Mary Hahn, she wanted to know your father address.
