My Dear Willa

	I ------ I did not dispatch my last letter owing to so many being 
present on the inside.  I ---- ---- Army in sight of this ----- ----- 
Mountain that looms up grandly in the distance through the blue atmosphere.  
We are getting along finely.  We met two waggons going back yesterday.  
Their Lieutenant was in a buggy in front his leg propped up with sheaves of 
oats.  He had been shot in the leg by a squirrel rifle in a little fight they
had day before yesterday.  Our folks did not have any killed, 3 or 4 wounded,
Secesh" 15 killed, 28 wounded, 25 or 30 wounded.  I want you to give the 
enclosed note to your Uncle John for John Jr. @ Elgin.  I must close.  
The Express Carrier is waiting for my note.

Your
Perry
