My Dear Wife:
                        Good evening to you. Hope you are well. I am well. This is not intended as a letter, just simply a note accompanying a copy of our paper.
 
            You will notice that our new Colonel receives quite a flattering notice in its columns. No doubt he is richly deserving it. In my humble opinion he is an excellent officer, and a gentleman.
 
            Weather is pleasant. Everything quiet
 
My Love to you
 
                        Your true devoted &
                        Affectionate
                                    Husband
                        Lieut. John H. Black,
                                    Co. “G” 12 Pa. Cavalry
