My Dear Sister

Yours of the 25th [illegible] was received today. I was glad to learn that Johnnie is recovering from his illness and hope to hear in the next letter that he is entirely recovered. You will notice by the heading of this that we have left our winter quarters at Waterloo and have [crossed?] the Tennessee River. We left our camp at Waterloo on Friday evening about 10 o clock and [crossed?] in the [transports?] reaching camp on this side of the river at 5 o clock Saturday morning not a [illegible] sleep that night.
