Louisville ky

Hospital No. 1. Nashville

July 30^th 1863

 

Dear Mother   I take the present opportunity to inform you how I am getting along my wound I think is getting better there has been no order yet for Indianans to be sent north but maybe soon I was sitting in the window last evening and saw a man driveing some mules and I am most certain it was John knott at least it looked like him very much

 

the Ohio boys that came from ward A. with me got ready to go to / Ohio yesterday but by some misunderstanding the ambulances never came and the dont like it much

 

the Doctor would not send any that had not been in the hospital 3 months but I think I will get off

 

the Sanitary Agent came up to see me and gave me a good shirt he is a fine man

 

            we have a few bed bugs fleas and grey backs here to keep a person company of a nights 

 

I wrote to Henry Germond our postmaster at No 4 Nashville to send me my letters if there is any for me Give my respect to all of the folks

 

I must close hopeing these few lines may find you all in good health

 

yours Affct      G W Young
