Well my dear little wife I have been walking around the camp The officers are all gone off into town. The men are mostly gone to the river to bathe. I should have been with them, but I am now at the highest enjoyment I expect to have, "writing to my wife" Capt Gregg thinks we will go direct to Louisvill Ky. I would like to tell you about our trip down here but there were so many incidents of interest that I do not know what to say. I shall never forget the scene of out last seperation the memories of that morning when we mingled our tears together The memories of that morning shall be dear to me for ever yes my dearest amid the confusion of the camp, & under all circumstances I can find time to think of you
