Dear Sister—

            I have nothing new to write you this morning as it is seldom we get any news hear worth writing.

          

I am as well as common my foot is still mending I am getting so that I can hop round considerable. I am very well treated hear that is very well treated for the army but there is no place that I have found in the Army like home. There is several of the 80^th Boys hear with me but none that you know except John M^cCalley he is not wounded he has got the scurvy.

 

I have not heard from the / Regt. since I wrote before I dont know what has become of them. You can tell Aunt Sallie that Mose is in Nashville he is with John he is sick. When I wrote to you before I wrote that I expected to get a furlough and come home but that is plaid as there has been as many furloughed as they had orders to furlough from this hospital. They may get a nother order soon to furlough as many more but I dont know whither they will or not.

           

Well Mollie I have not had a letter yet not since I left the front I do not see the reason why I cannot get a letter Still I supose I will get one when it comes time 

 

Well Mollie I believe I have wrote all that I can think of for the preasant and I expe more than will be interesting So I will bring my letter to a close.

           

Give my love to my Parents and Jim and all the folks at home give my respects to all inquiring friends I remain yours very respectfully     Sol

 

P.S.      Write soon as you can and tell Jim to write without fail

           

And oblige your Brother

So Wood
