all fighting east of the Mississippi River. Since the fall of Mobile we have been seeing quite a pleasant time and I enjoyed myself very well during our stay as Selma. When we left the village all thought we were on our homeward trip and quite a number are yet of that belief.

Tell them I am well and have been ever since being in the Army. And dear Mother write soon. Your Affect. Son, James Rowe, Hospt. Steward
