arriveing here every day or two and they all touch at Key West I have not received any letters from home the past week think it rather strange, for most of the Company have received answers to their letters that they wrote since we came to New Orleans. Can think of no news, or anything that will interest you to write about, so might as well bring this to a close. I have been buying in a stock of Stationery and Stamps, so as not to be without when my money is all gone. Write often. With lots of love and remember the presents to the children. Also my best regards to the neighbors. I am your loving Brother Carlie
