Dear Brother,

It is with pleasure I seat myself this morning to inform you that I am 
well at present and hoping these few lines may find you enjoying good 
health, brother.  I have been waiting for you to write for I did not 
know where to write.  I will guess at this and write and I want you to 
as soon as you can.  I haven't anything of much information to write you 
than I have had good health since I have been here and John is well.  
Robert and William McGough is about three hundred miles from this 
place_________________Springs.  I am very well pleased with this place 
and the company men are expecting a fight I hear tomorrow.  The enemy is 
approaching our fortress in three columns, about one hundred thousand of 
them.  All we want is for them to come on.  They have had two or three 
fights and our men whips them every time.  I am close enough to hear 
their guns very plain.  Tell Jack and Benny Deason I want them to write 
to.  Tell the balance of my friends to write so I will come to close by 
saying write soon and often.
