Oc^t 8^th/63

           

Dear Brother

                        Thy letter of 4^th inst with remitance is just rec^d I will have time to write thee a fiew lines before the mail closes.

 

There was a mistake about the measure for boots, as I found a fiew hours after had sent the letter, inclosed it in a seperate envilope and sent it, supposed it would get there about the same time as the letter. thee has doubtless got it before this time.

 

I am in good health my sholdier is getting along as usual—slowley.

 

Another load of wounded / from Port Royal arrived here day before yesterday. there was about two hundred of them altogether quite a n^o of our Reg^t, but one Co D man (Elmer Sowder) among them. thee probably knows him but fiew of our men are left in Beaufort & Hilton Head hospitals. A. Cole is at the latter place yet. Two days before hospital ship left Port Royal the 24^th Mass Vol started for St Augustine to relieve our Reg^t there. it is supposed the 48^th are to go to Morris Isl^d again.

                                                                                   

Respectfully thy brother

Adam
