My Dear Mother

                        without the least doubt you are very anxious to hear from your Boy & as this is the first opportunity I have had, I will pencil you a few lines to assure you by the blessing of God I am still spared to serve my Country, and in good health, earnestly hoping these few lines may find you the same. I have been at the front four days with my / stretcher bearers and was relieved this morning and now I am with the Train.

 

            our Brigade has been very luckey so far and especially our Regiment. two in our Company have been wounded, one was Charlie White, and the other Sam^l Henderson. Charlie received a luckey wound and Sam also. there has been some hard fighting and we are victorious and with the help of God we will settle this thing this campain. I have not time to give / you a detail of the past but will do so at some future time if I am spared.

 

            Do not worry Dear Mother but trust in God. He doeth all things well. give my love to John, Grand Ma, and accept of it yourself. May God bless you all & keep you from all harm Write soon. we have received no mail as yet. I am anxious to hear from you. Remember me to all enquiring friends & neighbors.

                                   

Your loving Son

& Br^o in the Lord /
