It is needless for me to give you any news - for I know that you read the papers & will have read any thing long before this would reach you - There is nothing going on here except parolling prisiners & transporting them to their homes - They generally apear to be well satisfied with the turn things have taken, There are thousands of them who have served 2 - 3 & 4 years in the army against their will & conscience.  I am pleased with the course that prominent men in the South are taking the stand for the Union they are.  It will all be right .
 Friday A.M. - I have been nearly all day yesterday & to day pouring over my Returns for the months of March & April - until my head is dizzy - I will cypher it out but it is very tiresome & I will be glad to get through - It is a relief to me to quit a while & write to you - We have had no mail for more than a week - The last I recd from you was April 22nd very nearly a month - If it should take this long to reach you & the return be as slow - I will hardly get an answer - for we will hardly remain south all summer.  Col Glassgow has been in command of our Brigade for a week or two, this morning he returned & took command of the 23rd & his first act was to send a Circular to Commander of Cos to get their books & papers footed up as soon as posible, preparitory to muster out - This looks like buisness & it is to be hoped that the war is really over & that we can all return home to our friends
