Well I do not know what to write unless it is the same nonsensical lingo and that would not be very interesting to you as you have undoubtedly heard all of this a great many times. I rec'd. your letter and Libbies the same time, have not heard from John in some time, I think before I left the Hospital was the last letter I got from him. I have heard from Byron Allen by letter he is in New York City, said "Ames had been to see them. I do not hear any thing more from Deloss, do you? I am looking for a letter from Aunt Mary, now every day. You wished to know if I had clothes enough, I can say yes all I want that never troubles us for. we have all we want. I have got one woolen Blanket one gum Blanket or rubber, one Overcoat one dress Coat that I drew at Jamestown. a Vest, two shirts, one pr drawers, two prs Trowsers, three prs socks, one pr Shoes, one Cap, and an old hat.., one thing more we drew lately, one State Jacket, or round about as you may call it. Now you see I have plenty of clothing and more than I could possably cary if compeled to march. Marshall Shannon and I sleep togather and have plenty of clothes. Then I have a Gun Cartridge box forty rounds
