Sunday Morning it is clear and cold but oh, the mud, you can not step off the boat without going over shoes in it, which makes me realise the nesesity of haveing boots. There is some talk this morning of our going up the river, if not I think we shall stay here long enough to get that box. I received two letters from you last night, one dated the 21st the other the 24th, also the Christmans presant of one dollar from you and Carrie. I am glad that you realise the nesesity of doing all that is in your power for the suffering soldiers, to see the suffering a person sees in the Army would soften the hardest hearted
