Friday morning 14th  I have Just received & read twice yours of June 11th - I was happy to receive this letter, but I know that there are others of a later date due.
  Gen Glassgow (better know as Col Glassgow, but he has worked hard for the Star & I think earned it he is Commissioned as Gen but not mustered as such) Came down last night from Houston - Lt Col Clark went yesterday to Galveston on business conected with the mustering out of the Regt.  We expect him back on this mornings train when we will know what to be at.  I hope we will be mustered out in a few days but it will be as well to be prepared for disappointment.  Texas is a hard place - I mean that the people are a hard set - I thought Columbus had enough - but the people there made no atempt on our flag - or there would have been rough times - The reb Cittizens tore down the Stars and Stripes at a place about eighty miles N.W. of Houston - I forget what what Regt was there, an Ohio I think - They caught the ring leader or one who tore down the flag & have him in Houston, the Soldiers & many of the Cittizens wanted him shot, which should have been done on the spot
