Left Winchester for Baltimore on the 18th. Spent three days at a hospital there, and was then ordered to Philadelphia, where he arrived yesterday. Wound is doing "very well." Is tired from the ride to the city. Does not know where he will be next or if he is moving at all, so they should not write until he has a permanent address.
