Sis

            I received a letter from Jack this morning, writen on the seckond. he says he is very well and that Jim Bayers returned last fryday. I hapened to be on liberty last wednesday and got up to the Senate chamber a little before twelve, but could not begin to get in for the seats and aisles where all full, but after twelve a great many left so I got in to see the new Senators sworn. The news now is begining to look a little better, so much so that I think Old Abe is prepareing to fight more than C.S.A. if any thing of the kind does hapen I guess we will see the first of it. I see by the Inquirer that the Anderson Troop are going to be reorganized again under Col. Palmer, when you write let me know how all our boys are geting / along if you have heard from them. I was sorry I was not at home when M^r Keneagy called to see me, but I had just gone up to the capitol. There is nothing new going on here only the same old thing going to bed at eight and geting up at half past six and geting plenty of pork and bean soup to eat. as I have nothing more to say, I will close by sending much love to all.

                                                                                               

Charley.
