Autograph letter signed

Title: to Eleanor Hammond

Glad to hear she is well; he is also well. Leg has improved so much that he can "[wear] my boot some and run some on it." The rest of his company arrived today to pitch tents for the winter.

Autograph letter signed

Received three letters, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh she has sent, from her this morning. Also received $1.50 and six postage stamps. Felt bad to hear that William Nash had "such bad luck." Asks to let Nash know that he feels his pain, because something similar happened to him when he was shot in the leg. As soon as the leg had begun to heal, it began to be covered in sores. The leg is getting better now. By the time fighting…

Health is "first rate," and leg is well. Weather is nice right now, and hopes this letter finds her well. Sent her two letters, each with $20 in them. Will send some more money by express soon. Does not need more than $5, and if he does, he will ask for some from her. Would have sent all the money by express, but did not learn until today that he could send any of it by express. Is now acting as commissary sergeant. Has to go to the brigade headquarters and draw rations for the company, then has to cook them. "Keeps me very busy." Received a letter from her this morning. Every day rebels…
