Description

. . . but I can stand it as long as I have my health as well as I have now I was weighed this forenoon and I weighed One Hundred & Sixty nine pounds heavier than I have been for a long time and in fact I am stouter than I have been for a long time and I hope that I will continue so as long as I have to stay in the service at least for when I get home and get sick I know that I have one there that will take better care of me than I could have in the army although we have as nice Hospital arrangements here as I ever saw a good House and every thing fixed up as it should be for the care of the sick I heard from Wesleys father the other day by a letter from Aunt Jane Hammond in Ohio he was in Wyandott county a short time ago and is now either in Upper Sandusky or Sandusky City in Ohio he is still at his old business of taking pictures . . .
