Dear Sister Jenny

 

I can only write a few lines as it is near roll call now

 

            I am well and hope you enjoy good health as I do at presant

 

            Four of the Columbus boys are now on furlough to Columbus and four of the Columbus boys are now here they came back last Friday I will go home alone then I can go and come when I will please I will stay at home 3 or 4 days I will have / to come back on the Newark Mansfield and Sandusky RR

 

            We had a dress parade tonight they are very pretty the old Major says I must plaster the Church they are building here I will have to

 

            The boys are turning somersault handspring and all mischief I muss now close by saying

I will soon come home to see you all

 

From your Brother
