The Cavalry Command is still [crossing?] and I think will hardly be over for [illegible] three days yet. How long we will remain here I cannot say and also I cannot say where we will go to when we leave here as there are [illegible] rumors, one that we are going South to Montgomery, Selma [illegible], another that we are going to East Tennessee, around Knoxville, [illegible] [illegible] at any rate, I do not anticipate much more hard fighting, although I may find myself mistaken. But I can [carry?] through four (4) months more of active service if I am only helped with my accustomed good health and spirits and then can laugh at what are presents hardships. When [we’re?] more settled at Chicago in Good life but Sarah don’t you think I had better reenlist for the war.
