Dear SIR Away off here, on this
broad prairie of Missouri, while enjoy
ing the benefits of camp life, our
thoughts often revert to our friends in
Michigan, and thousand questions,
that would perhaps appear trivial and
nnimportant to you, loom up our home
ward gaze with an Importance never
before dreamed of. Answers to aues-
tions, about the weather, the crops, the
changes that are taking place during
our absence, and thousand other
things, are always joyfu!ly received,
and form agreeable topics for discus
sion for while the soldiers mind burns
with patriotic zeal for mis- country,
and he stands ready with his life to
serve her in this her hour of need, yet
his thoughts often revert to his home,
and nothing varies the monotony of
camp life so pleasantly, or gladdens his
heart so much as letter from his
friends .75veIs --ert yrsaaa
