Charlestown, Sept. 4^th/65

 

Sis:

            The appearance of your handwrite again was hailed with welcome & gives to my pen a freer stroke, for I must say I was not a little uneasy about you and I am glad to hear you escaped so easly and without suffering.

 

            Jack in you place during your illness kept me posted I judge in all things, and in answer I have exausted my fountain of news which here at presant is very low at best. /

 

            Every thing is moving on as usual & is assuming that degree of sameness which is becoming tiresome & a desire for a change is increasing yet I am in no hurry yet for it.

 

            To day is the day for knapsack inspection which we will have at 10 O'clock in uniform. The command is formed in two companies and is inspected by the Major Commanding Post, occupying about an hour.

 

            I have not heard from Harry since he wrote me

 

            I will not make any more vain attempts but will close hoping to hear of no more sickness.

                       

I am well

Charley.
