Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Got their letter on Tuesday. His arm "grows stronger every day, but I have almost lost all patience waiting for it." It has been almost six months since he was injured. Hopes the wound will stop discharging soon. "I wrote to Dr. Barry last week for a description of the operation on my arm." Sorry to hear that Mother is so sick. Had "a rousing good dinner" on the night that the Governor came. Saw Rufus Sackett who was with Simeon yesterday. He is a member of the State Guards. Hopes they get some word from Sid soon. Written at Dale General Hospital .

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Should have written them sooner, but has not felt like writing recently. "This month is the worst part of the year for wounds… because the weather is so changeable." Is anxious to go home as soon as possible. Hopes he will get to spend at least a month at home this spring. At least there will be something for him to do at home, even "if it is nothing more than picking up chips." Feels ashamed to go home without being able to do much work. Has not heard from Providence and does not know why he would have. If Father wants him to, however, he will travel to Rhode Island with him as soon as he…

Title: to Parents

Received their letter last night. Hopes he gets his discharge before his three years are up on July 15th. If they bring him back to his regiment, however, he would have to stay until September 4th. Is sorry to hear that Elisha is sick. Would like to go to Boston with Sid, but will wait until he is discharged. "We have been celebrating the smash up of this Glorious Rebellion for the past week." They lit up the entire hospital one night. Fired a 200-gun salute another night. Listened to a lecture from S.E. Bridgman last night. Everything "is rather quiet" now. Pleased to hear that he will get…
