Camp 1^st Me Cavalry

Warrenton Jan 10 1864

 

Dear Brother—

                        Yours of the 3^rd is received I was pleased to hear you were all doing well, for if the weather with you has been as cold as it has been here since I returned it is a wonder how you have kept that little fellow from freezing.

 

I will enclose twenty dollars in this which I hope will make you all comfortable. This leaves us very well. I have a bad cold but Collins is well. We are very busy putting up winter quarters I had five men captured last thursday just out of camp, so you see we are not out of danger.

 

Write as soon as you receive this.

Affectionately your brother

Paul Chadbourne

Capt Co "I"
