General Field Hospital, Army of Tenn.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 3, 1864

 

Dear Mother:

                        This Hospital is about to be broken up instead of being removed as first ordered. Consequently I shall soon rejoin my Regiment probably. Direct no more letters here, but to the Regiment. Shall probably remain in Atlanta until the Reg't comes this way, which I suppose it will do soon. Will remain in my present position for a few days yet probably. Have recovered my health so that I feel pretty well now. Am in a hurry just now. Will write more in a day or two. No word from home now for about seven weeks. Hope to hear soon. Love to all

                       

Your aff. Son
