Dear Let

                        having time this afternoon I will write you a fiew lines but not in answer to any that I have received from you I have not received any nuse from you since the 24 of September but on the account of the mail line being imperfect there is very little mail comes through

 

            This letter leaves me in the enjoyment of good health and I sincerly hope you are enjoying better health than usual but am / fearful such is not the case but am hopeful of the better

 

            Let I must tell you of some dreams that I had in my slumbers three knights hard running I dreamped of being home and seeing you but donot recollect of seeing any of the rest and the second knight I dreamped of getting some letters but have not seen them yet you can imaging that I am ancious to hear from you sometimes I fear you are down sick as I have not heard of conciderable sickness near there but I am hopeful that you are not one of the number

 

            Well Let I suppose I must say something concerning our getting out things donot look as / favorable as it has for some time past but am of the opinion that we will be out before long the 4^rt regulars are here came this morning have gone to Victoria they expect to go to Sanantonia the 6 regulars are on the way here I think that is favorable there is troops enough to relieve us now but we will have to finish the railroad then I think we will geet orders to go home where all such rascals ought to be it will not take long to finish it the weather here is very good some rain but not enough to bother the work on the road much well Let I must close hoping to hear soon from you love to all and Let as usual I yours as ever
