Dear Mother

                        I will now write a fiew lines to you to let you know that I am well I have not heard from you since I have been in this city I dont see why I dont get some letters from up that way once in a while why dont Helen write once in a while I wish she would and send me her photo before I leave here and I want to have you send me that picture of Ada and myself send it as quick as you can you can send it by mail direct it well and it will come through there is a grate deal of talk about us geting paid off some Regts has been paid they say they are going to not pay aney more untill they are ready to go home.

 

            Prehaps the reason you dont / write is because you expect me home every day you need not look for me a while yet for we are not out yet if I get out by the 4^th of July I will think I am doing well I often hear from Julia Bradley she writes me a pretty interesting letter I have not heard from Sarah in a long time I had a letter from a girl in Roxbury by the name of Minnie Flowers do you know the family I believe I have heard from them before I guess you will remember them

 

            The boys in the company are all well now
