and enjoying yourselves. we have all along thought we would go to little rock Arkansas and I hope we will for being run around in this barren interior is no fun. the fact is I have no idea that our train will go back to Springfield for provisions and the Arkansas river is the nearest outlet we can have if all the U.S. Army is run as fast as we are. I think the war ought to end but we know nothing about it. I hope it will soon be over or else take is in a civil i'sed portion of the C.S.A. if indeed there is such a place in it. the health of the army is better than ever. it is a little cool here this evening but they have no front here yet. there was frost at springfield before we left there but it is much higher than this on the Ozark mountains. my love to you all. Jim will write some in this letter so good bye Harry P
