The 16^th N. Y. Cav [Cavalry] are encamped
on our left the 13^th on our
right we occupy the center on the
right of the rail road depot at this
place I came accross [across ] Charles Farmsworth
2^nd Lieu [Lieutenant] of a Co in the 16^th also
A. Ladoo Quarter Master of the same
I was glad to meet them and talk
over old times Charles did not recognize
me but I knew him, we went on
picket and I had quite a talk
with him before I let him know
who I was He wishes me to
remember to him all of you there
I must close for I have nothing
of importance to write our duty
is mostly picket now and
therefore void of news of importance
With my best wishes for your
health hapiness [happiness] and prosperity
I remain as ever Your
