TO:	Mrs. Willa Fyffe
	Maysville, Kentucky

Head Quarter 59 Regt
Mount Sterling    Sunday 1861

	I have only time to write you a line before the Regt will be in town.
We are getting along finely.  The people every where flock to the road waving
their Banners & Hand kerchief and cheering us in town.  Times I can hardly 
keep from crying.  I never imagined it would be such an ovation.  I send you 
the leaves off of the numerous boquettes showered upon us.  Remember me to 
the folks & all friends including Mary Higgins.

Yours
Perry





(Transcribers note:  The 59th OHV was organized Oct 1, 1861 so this letter 
was probably written the last week of September, 1861)
