of the Boys is generally good- none that I know of are very sick. One of the company above us was taken with a fit of Bleeding at the Lungs yesterday supposed to have been caused by scuffling I never saw any thing like it in my life- For an Hour or more he spit great mouthsfull of blood but they finaly got it stopped & he is now in the Hospital. I havn't seen any of the Friends of the 112th yet it is so seldom that we can get a pass out of the Guards The 108th in camp just below us is now under Marching orders & will (I believe) leave Thursday of this week & the 77th are expecting Orders soon- I don't Know where they go & I guess they don't I see (almost everyday) some one I Know- To day Mr. [Tarlters?] was in camp, He look as "Fat & Lazy as ever. I would be glad to see you & Ma. up here & see what kind of a place we live in if you could get the time & you might fetch Grandpa along & he would get a R.Road ride for once. I got a letter from Sam Burge last evening- He is going to school & now & expects to teach this winter if he can get a school. The Drum is just beating for drill & I must close. Remember me to all Friends Your son H Rice
