a better soldier and you will feel so much better in your mind to have
an appreneing[?] consience. I wrote to you to Kalamazoo
dont know whether you got my letter in two days after
I wrote to your folks but have not heard from them since
We still have very dry weather there is no wheat
sowed[?] in neighborhood yet it looks some like rain to day
and is quite cool I think about the poor dear soldiers
having to lay out cold and stormy weather but I do hope rebellion will
be driven to the wall before many months We should like
to know who is in your regiment that we know. We heard Hiram Blake had
volunteered if so I hope he is in your Regt and in your

give him our love if there
The night we got your letter we got one from John Gregg
he was well they were before Washington to guard...
