Dear beloved Wife

            I esteem it a privalige to corespond with a partner in life that is worthy of the attention of a faithful Husband

           

Your letter the 2^nd came to hand to day it was read with pleasure and the nuse it brought was cheering that is about being musterd out but we can tell very little about it all kinds of nuse here at present the nuse that we are going to texas but donot / know but a fiew days will tell the story I am sorry that you were disappointed about me cumming home it is the opp opinion of of our best officers that 3 months more will find us at home I hope it will for the Lord knows that we are ancious enough to cum home the 62 men that their time expirs before the 31 of September are being musterd out as fas as they geet their rolls ready

           

I notice in your letter concerning what Rambo said about us being at Louisville we have such every day we call it grapevine nuse or simply saying we donot believe them probably such was the report where he was / but there is very fiew that knows any thing about the moovements of the army we have all kinds of reports here and we think from reliable sorces to but they all proove false so you see I can tell you nothing as to where our next moove will be but I think I can in a fiew days more I will keep you posted but you must not feel bad if I donot geet home as soon as expected some time ago there is a time a cumming when we can see our friends and donot think it is far distant

           

I am hopefull that your health will entirely recover well about Tip Marvin I donot know what you have refference to I knew nothing very bad of him while here / but will know if I ever geet home

           

My health is good the weather is very warm and sultry

           

Let I must close hope to hear from you

           

Soon love to all

                       

I am your ever faithful Husband

Frank
