Civil War Letter

The image shows a handwritten letter dated July 21, 1863, from a camp in Tullahoma, Tennessee, addressed to "Dear Brother." The writer apologizes for the delay in responding due to being busy with muster and payroll duties and various temporary business tasks. The letter mentions being in good health and spirits, with no comments on a chaplain's sermon mentioned previously, as the writer hasn't considered the subject thoroughly. The writer mentions receiving another letter from his wife around the same time, stating that the family is well, though her letter arrived a few days after his brother's. The handwriting is cursive and written on aged paper.
