In Barracks

Tuesday Nov. 7^th/65

 

Sis:

            I received your letter of the 31^st on Saturday and the "Inquirer" yesterday morning. I could not imagine why I did not hear from you, but your letter explained the mistery and I was glad to hear it was nothing more serious.

 

            So Harry managed to to leave his confining duties once since I have been home. it must have been quite an exertion. I hope he is nothing the worse of it. I have nothing new or / strange to tell you any more than we have had a spit of snow since I wrote you last. That was a very strange sight to me being the first I have seen fall since the winter of /62. I judge if I am here this winter I will see plenty of it, more in fact than I desire. But if I was so sanguine in my expectations as yourself I would not build on stoping much of the winter here. It does not look reasonable that I should have any doubts, having such a strong force of influence in my favor, but since I have been in the service I have learned not to puff myself with any uncertainties. I will now tell you what I took my pen to do:—

I am well, very well.

 

Charley.

 

C     Your last letter was not cealed.

Charley
