Holms Plantation La. Apr 19th /63, Dear Brother, It is Sunday again in the Army, and for a wonder all is quiet. As a general thing Sunday is the day we march. I wrote Sara a letter on Friday from this place telling her all the news I could think of. Yesterday we were paid two months pay. I am anxious to send some of it home, so shall send by a stainger, the Chaplain of the 130th Ills. he takes about $20 000, He is well spoken of by his Reg. I shall send $20. twenty dollars. If you are not cramped for money, I wish you would have my large picture framed, the Vilage Blacksmith
