Camp Butler, 62, Camp Butler Sunday 11 O clock AM, Dear Brother, We received thirteen dollars one months pay yesterday the balance is to be paid to day. As some of our men are going home I will send a carpet sack [begin words written then lined through:] and some money $20 twenty dollars. The rest I expect I shall want. [end lined through words] The quartermaster told me that we should leave here and that soon. I want to go to Springfield to morrow there is a great many things I must get. You will find the pay of the carpet sack sewed in side. The balance of my cloths will send by express when we leave
