About that colt you may do as you think best I donot to over stock your Father farm it may be imposing on him but do as you se propper about it and it will be alright I cannot tell when I can return home to remain it may near 2 years but hope not my impression is that this rebellion will be over but it is hard to tell how it will turn out but I think I can stand at least

 

Since I last wrot to you I have been detailed as forage master for the Brigade but have not betterd my position much one thing I have a horse to ride
