about the Post office I dident know anything about it till Amos Edwards told me of it. there was a cannon come last night on the train it is what they call a Howitzer for throwing shot or shell it is a great eel larger than the Cylinder in your mill it is Big enough to put your head in I put my head in it this afternoon. we havent got to work on our breast works yet perhaps we never will I heard they had stoped it entirely but none of us dont know anything about it whether we will build any or not. John if you think there is a pretty good prospect for a big crop of wheat you had better go to work and build the shed and if I am alive at the end of the 3 months maby I will come and pack flour for you but you must build it before I come home I would rather stay in the armey than to work in the
