Home, Friday night Dearest John, See how prompt I am, your letter only came today. It came in company with one from Frank and one from Sis, who is in Pittsburg. I guess she will think it is a grand thing to be twenty-one, and have Pa say "I don't care, you can do as you please" when she wants to go away. Frank's letter announces his promotion to the rank of Brigade surgeon, 2nd brig. 2nd Cavalry Div. It is quite flattering, for so young a man, coming unsought, and to one who has no "friends with influence." At their last fight near Boynton
