Camp Smith Ky. Nov. 9/62, Dear Sister, Another week has passed and we ar still here doing nothing (except drilling six hours a day and eating Uncle Sam's provisions. I have been looking anxiously for the last two or three days for a letter from home but have been disapointed, I have not as much reason to complain though as many others. S. L. Howard has not heard from his wife for two weeks he is getting nearly crazy about it. The mail comes in regular every afternoon but for some cause a great amount is delayed and lost. I do not know what to think of our Chaplain he seems to bee a smart inteligent man, but he never preaches any more, guess he is not of the preaching kind. Since squad G fuss in the regiment that I spoke of in my last there has not been so many privates but more Officers used for guard, so that things go more smoothly.
