Young's Point Lou. Mar. 4th 1863, Dear Sallie, I received your letter of the 15th of last month, on Sunday. I was on picket as usual here of late when it was brought to me. Was glad to hear from home, as letters are acceptable at all times. I sent four if not five letters after the one sent from the Post, before the one you received by H. Phiney. Those that you mentioned are the only one's that I ever sent without Stamps. I put them into the Chaplain's hand's for him to sign, should not be a bit surprised if he is to blame for your not getting them. He is the Post Master for the Reg. He has never preached any since
