Brother Samuel.

                        I presume you are anxious to hear from me but dont know what to write as I hear that all letters have to go unsealed or are opened any thing concerning what is going on, why they are stopped. I suppose all I can write is to say I am well feeling in first rate spirits We are in the field and every thing seems from all I hear to be going on all right I suppose I cant tell where we are, but we are not on the peninsula. As soon as I can I will write every thing that has happened since I last wrote. It is very warm / weather. I cant write any more now. Perhaps you will not hear from me in some time. none of you need worry at all for it will do no good

 

Direct to Fort Monroe Co "G" 148^th 2^ond Brig 2^ond Division 18^th Army Corps

 

Love to all

Brother Charley
