hilt, and it and the piece of the blade I sent home when Capt Kings body was sent is all that I ever saw of it after the battle The old books I picked up at different places in Rebeldom and will do for the children and you to read if you have nothing better. The pertified nutt, I found at Iuka Alabama. The bunch of Cotton grew in a field near camp which has not not been picked. The field in that condition looks like a patch of weeds after a slight snowfall. The Shirts show a fair specimen of what Soldiers washing consists of although they have all been worn a week through the dust since they even had a soldiers wash. I send Hattys' picture home because the case is too large to carry it handily and then I have one of hers which is small enough to go in the same case with yours. I was intending to send my big trunk but Co. "K" wanted to keep it and said if I would leave it that they would haul it and I might keep my Coat & pants in it and I agreed to it
