Dear Brother
Yours of the 24th has just come to hand and according to your wish I answer it immediately. we have as yet been in no danger whatever, and don’t(sic) expect we will be, as long as we are here. for there is sufficient force here to repel the Rebels in this part of the country, we have been here 2 months now, and nothing exciting has transpired while we have been here. There are 4 Regts of *** 1(?) Battery of Artilery(sic) and a small force of Cavilryhere(sic). we expect to be paid of in a few days for the Paymaster has at last arrived here. we expect to get our pay up to the 1st of March, there will be a jolly old time when we get our pay, for that has been the subject of conversation among the boys for the last 3 months. we have had splendid weather lately and the boys are getting in good spirits, most of the boys of your acquaintances are in good health I know of no othernews(sic) to write at present so I will close by giving you my best respects
