Dear sister—

                                    Your kind and very welcom letter come to hand yesterday dated April 20^th it was of great interest to me so I hasten to answer hoping it may be the means of hearing from you soon again. Your letter found me enjoying tolerbel good health. I have bin sick since I got back but I am about well once more. the boys of your acuaintance are all well.

 

Well Mollie we are having a great revival down hear among the soldiers. we have had church nearley all the time since we I got back / We have a church house built of pine bows that will hold about 250 men and the house is crowded every night. there has some 10 or 12 already joined that is to be babtised next Sunday we have formed a soldiers church in the Regt we have about 100 names on the paper and I think they all intend to try to live christian lives.

 

But we will have to start away from hear soon and the Lord onley knows where we will go. we cannot take the church house with us but I think we will go from this place with good intentions. I know that I will for one.

 

Well Mollie we are having the finest kind of spring weather / weather down hear now and have had for weaks past. the treas are getting green the hickrey and oak trees are out in leaf I saw some oak sprouts this morning 6 or 8 inches long. it rained a pleasant shour last night and it seams like the grass grew a inch.

Well Mollie I was glad to hear that the people wer so much interested about us as to hold prair meetings in our behalf. I was also glad that you had come to the conclusion to comence a meeting at Antiock again I hope you will make great progress with it. Tell Jim I have not recieved the letter that he sent me last but I guess it will be hear before long. /

 

Well Mollie I believe I have wrote all for the preasant all that will be of interest and probably more so I guess I had better bring my letter to a close

 

Give my love to all the folks at home and else where & tell them to write to me and let me know what is going on in that part of the cuntry I remain very respectfully your brother
