shall serve my country well and if a stray shot shall find me it shall strike me so I shall be able to see it in a [underline] looking-glass [underline end]. Our Col was formerly an engineer and to him I owe my situation. His name is E. Peabody. My pay will be about $20 per month, I suppose. I stand a very good chance to be Captain as out Captain will be promoted. The crops are all taken care of and the family all well. Write me and direct to me as Lieut. Co. I. 13th regiment, Mo. Volunteers, St. Jo. Mo. To W. C. Newberry, P. S. If you send the shoulder straps please send me a good silk sash and a 1st Lieuts Infantry Cap. Yours, Perry
