all the rest of the connection
are well I dont think there
is any chance for the regt to be
moved from here the col has tried
very hard to get it moved but
has failed failed to succeed
he has tried to get the regt furlowed
for thirty days I suppose you
have heard it I never wrote any
thing about it for I did not
want to ecite you about our com
ing and then get disappointed
I never beleived we would get off
in the way he has failed to get
us moved to healthy place let
alone coming home
You must excuse this badly writ
ten letter as I have a bad pen.
from your devoted husband
may God bless us J O Charles
is my prayer
tell the black people howdy
tell Mrs Slaten John is well
