New Orleans Mar 3rd 1864 Dear Sallie Your weekly epistle of Feb. 14th came to hand yesterday, and as usual was thankfully received. Should think from you account that there is an unusual interest being taken in the Church of Monticello Your present must be a popular, and I hope a good man. There is a revival being held here in the Baptist, and Methodist Church, which is well attended by Soldiers, and citizens. Several members of our Regiment have already joined, and many others are nightly up to the mourners bench. I am in hopes it may do a great deal of good, for the Regiment is a a hard nut and there is great room for improvement
