Dear Father—

                        All Right! and the old adage, "Nothing venture nothing have", has again been verified, there being no mid-day train from N. York, Bassett and I took the 7.30 P.M. train and arrived here this morn at 4 o'clock. Our Doctor has just called to see Lieut Foley, who is unable to report at his office, and he told me that as it was not very pleasant, I better not report at all this week. He has been up here once or twice during our absence, but has not mentioned our names Another week added to our / furlough would not have been noticed. It was well, however to be on the safe side, and I think we may consider the trip a billiant success. On my return I found a package of letters forwarded by Col. Ross—thoughtful soul! Among them are the following—Yours of the 6^th 12^th 13^th ult. Mother's of the 13^th, Sallies of 5^th Jan. & Lucy's of the 22^nd ult.—All a little stale, but acceptable. Nothing from the box. Perhaps it is with the Reg. Am feeling first rate, excepting a little drowsiness.

 

Love to all from

Y'r aff son

Charlie—
