(No 1) Sabbath 2 PM Nov 23rd Bowling Green Ky

Dear Sister,

        I received your kind letter of the 17th on Friday evening containing a photograph of mother, a short note from her, and the general news from you.   And this is the first opportunity I have had to answer it.  I suppose before this you have been favored with a visit from Fred Gregory one of the discharged members of our battery, who promised me he would visit mother for me, and deliver a letter which I sent by him.   Ex Lieut Baxter left for Chicago this (Sabbath) morning at 11 o'clock being completely worn out just 2 weeks after his brother.  I suppose Orderly Sergeant Stevens will be appointed in his stead.   Yesterday afternoon the boys of the battery mounted their horses, and visited mill cave, about 3 miles from here
