Affectionate [paper hole]

I take this opportunity of writing you a few lines to let you know that I am well and hope that they may find you enjoying the same blessing. We have had bad weather here untill yesterday it cleared off nicely and today we are going in camp about a mile from town. we have been packed in an oald waggon shop since we came here I have not much time to write for they are packing / up to leave as fast as they can. Emma wanted to know if i needed any clothing and if i had been payed off. I [paper hole] thing enough and as for money I have not had any for over a month and dont suppose we will be payed off soon for the regiment is not organized yet. them things that you sent me have not come yet. Captain stillwell is going home and i will send this by him. please send me some paper and envellopes and stamps for i cant get them here.

 

No more at present but remain your affectionate
