Dear Brother I wrote to you several dayes ago to send me the money Charles drew for me & what he owes me besides I should like to have some $50 or sixty Dollars if you have not sent it I wish you would send it as quick as you can I allso wrote to you a sunday you will be apt to get that letter to day
Maj Richard told me this morning that my papers had bein sent to Gen Leea there is nothing to do but for him to sign them and send them back I expect to get them by friday so you may look for me to come home some time next week that is if you send the money in time for / to get of Sunday or monday I think there will be no difficulty in my getting of if it is left to Gen. Leea I do not know what sort of a certificate the doctors sent to Major Richards I think from what he said to me this morning that he thought I would get of he said to me this morning that he thought I would get to return to my Regt that it was left with Gen Leea to say whether I should return or not so I think there is no danger of me staying here any longer Send that money as soon as you receive this send it by mail as I directed before Give my love to all the girles & beleive me as ever your affectionate
