Rockland, Maine, Oct 27^th 1911.

 

Dear old comrade:                                                     

                        Letter received. Enclosed please find P.O. Order for $1.12 in payment for book. I have looked it over and am sure I will find it interesting.

 

            I find that John L. Smith of Philadelphia, formerly of the 118^th Penn, was in the same brigade I was. I have written him relative to history of his regiment. Capt Frederick M Colston of your city, I had a letter from some time ago. He and I were very close together one time in the Appomattox Campaign, when I with others were waiting in the woods to capture his wagon train.

 

Fraternally,

A. J. Mather.
