to others misdemeners General Granger is in command of this expedition He is the strictest displinarian that we have ever been under. A portion of the troops are leaving here and going to Ft. Morgan, and Lewis. The talk now is that our Brigade will stay here for the present. We have been lately Brigaded from the Miss. Reserve Corps, the the 1st Brg. 1 div. of the Army of the South Alabama or something to that effect but when you write simply direct to New Orleans, as letters are forwarded from there without delay and no danger of mistaking the Division. In my last letter I sent home Fifty dollars which if arrives I wish you to use for your own use Shall enclose fifteen in this. Which I hope may arrive safely. Will now close as it is near Dress Parade time So Good Bye. Be of good cheer With love and Kises to all I am your Dear loving Brother Carl
