Dear wife
     I seat myself to drop you a few lines in answer to yours kind letter bearing 
date March 2ND which came to hand last satersaday.  It found me well, I was 
glad to hear that you were all well and healthy.  This leaves me in the 
enjoyment of health and I hope it may find you enjoying a like   the blessing of 
God.  I have nothing new at this time ,  we still have rain or snow here every 
few days.  It snowed a little last night, it had been cludy & raining for several 
days before, it has faired off pretty  and warm to day.  I am on guard to day, the 
was news here is nothing at this time.  There were several cannon fired off over 
on the Yankeys side of the river.  It is thought that General Stuart is in their 
rear or on their flank, I tell you old Stuarts cavalry brothers their they dread 
him.  The health of our company is good at this time.  You said that you you 
had been trying to send me something to eat.  I   it is a bad chance for when 
some of our company goes home every fellow wants him to bring him 
something.  I will close, very few lines for this time.  Write soon nothing more.
Your husband truly, till death.
Lenard Alman
