Head Quarter 59th Rgt Camp
Near Hopeless ------ Nov 13th 1861

My Dear Willa

	I hasten to drop you a line by Col. Norton who goes to Columbus & 
Cin.  I am well but very anxious to hear from you not having received a word 
from Georgetown since leaving from everybody.  Could not you write to me.  
It may be you have done so and it has not yet come to hand.  I hope so at 
least for it is not pleasant to write and get no return where it is possible.

	Mrs Walker & Sam are well.  Sam was in the Battle of "Jerry Creeten".
  The weather here is soft and balmy, with much rain.  We are camped on 
Judge Cecils ground, living on his farm, eating his hogs & cattle.  He ran 
away to Dixie Land.

	I have come up to Piketon to get Raven, my black horse shod.  
Cost $2.00.  I expect we will leave here in 8 or 10 days.  Dont know when 
can write you to.

Good bye Dear
Perry
