Feby 8.65
 
My Dear Wife,
            I am here with a flesh wound in the right thigh, not serious. I was wounded in the fight on Monday.
            I have received two letters from you since I have written you but have had no time for answering them.
            You need not answer this till you hear from me again. It is not probable that I shall stay here long. Send no more letters to the Regiment. I hope to be able to write myself in a few days. /
 
From Your Affectionate
Husband,
Henry H. Covert,
