Yours of the 2^nd was received in due time, and with pleasure but was sorry to learn that you was uneasy in regard to Oliver he is well and safe with his Regt they were at Acworth a few days since I saw him and he had received a letter from you and answered it the same day, but since our move in Ga on this campaign all coraspondance & mail was stoped for a season & that accounts for you not receiving any from him

                       

Write soon
