Dear Sister,

                                    Mary, I now will write you a few lines once more to let you know my whereabouts and that I am as well as usual. I arrived here from Wilmington Saturday night. I dont think that I will stay here long this time. I shall be sent off on duty again somewhere. I am not afraid of being sent to the front now, for the old 45^th were all taken prisoners on the 30^th of last month. two Officers of the Regt that were wounded came in here last sunday. they were paroled all the others were sent down South.

 

            I have not heard from Wallace since he became a soldier and I cant get a letter from Daniel at all. I have wrote to him several times but have never rec'd an answer. I dont know what is the reason. 

 

            Mary, as I dont feel much like writing tonight, I shall have to close. please give my respects to all friends. hoping to hear from you soon, I remain as ever,

                                                                                   

Your Brother,

Capt. W^m Chase,

Annapolis, Md.

To Sister Mary.
