Head Qrs. 36^th Miss. Inftry.

Enterprise, Jany 5^th 1864.

 

Lieut.

                        Yours of the 21^st ult. has just been received, and I reply at once. I am greatly oblige for the prospects of the much desired artickles, and hope they have not caused you but little extra trouble.

 

We are all exchanged, and well armed, and have gone regularly to work again. You are also exchanged if you reported at Parole Camp by the 6^th of Nov, November/63. I would think it best for you not to be absent without leave, as the books are kept rather strict against absent Officers, / and a few days absents without leave might do you very great harm in the future

 

            The 37^th for a few days refused to take armes, but finally came to terms, and are on duty at this time.

 

            We have no news that you have not heard.

 

I am Lt. Very respectfully

Your Obt. Sevt.

W W Witherspoon
