of Cartridges Knapsack Haversack & Canteen this constitutes my full equipment and Clothing with the exception of a few dishes. Well I guess I wont.. write any more now finish some other time,, Cel.. Three oclock Pm. I will try to write some more [news and?] finish this letter. You spoke of its being most a year since Deloss and I left home, it was just a year from the day you wrote the [?] of Sept.. that I enlisted and went to Jamestown the eighth and was mustered in to the State service, to be sure I have seen some hard times but I guess I could stand it two years longer. I did not think I could endure a half as much when I enlisted but find a man can endure a great deal when obliged to. I have always thought that I should see this war over and get home safe it always has seemed to me so since I enlisted and I believe it now. You spok of Monroe, I do not want to say any thing about him that would get to his folks, but he was better able to come to the Reg't.. when I did than I was, (so thinks I.) I am very glad to hear from Welley & Frank and to hear that they are getting better. I do so hate to have any of you sick it seems worse than it did when I was there, or to be sick myself
