Description
I think from what I can find out from the papers and the citizens here that the war will come to a close before very long the Rebbles say that if our forces take Vixburgh they will have to soon give up or starve for they get all their supplies from Texas by the way of Vixburgh. May God grant how soon it may happen for I am tired of soldiering and would gladly have the privilege of returning home to my wife and child where my affections lay and are left behind with you and my child
I hear nothing sayed about any of our boys getting furloughs to come home and I dont know why there is not some- thing done to procure some of the men that much prized privlege if I cant get to come myself I would like to see other have a chance that have been gone so long . .
