dated Feb. 22nd, and will try answer a few of the many questions you have asked. In the first place I do not where I was a year ago the 21st inst. unless it was at Dr. Hull's. As to our rations we have plenty and good enough if there was any good accomadations for cooking. Four out of ten days we draw fresh Beef the balance, half pickled Pork, the other half Bacon, as much Rice, Beans, & Hominy as we can eat, half rations Coffee the other half Tea, as much Sugar as we need in our Coffee etc. We have more Coffee that we can use, if we used it with economy our company would supply your table. I am sickened of Coffee I drink Tea all togather. Sometimes our Q. M. trades off extra rations of such as Crackers Rice & Hominy and gets Potatoes, Sour Crout, Onions, and one time a lot of Chickens and pickles. I do not think the 15th Ills. Reg. is here.
