Dear General,
You are my debtor for a letter still but that shall not prevent me from writing again. Besides, I see Woodward's leave has been granted and know therefore that your duties are more burdensome than before. From him I have had two notes recently, one dated march 2nd acknowledging receipt of the bank books of the men ) I sent him, the other March 16th speaking of his proposed leave, &c. We hope his trip will do him much good and that he will get East far enough for us to see him.
I see that the Tenth has lost it's Commissary and that Badger is now, like myself, one of the anxious "supernumeraries", 'tho' in fact I am not particularly anxious. From the long leave granted Badger I judge him to be well used us, and very likely proposing to retire or resign.
