Dear Brother George

I am glad to inform you that John C. Fleming of the Chicago Board of Trade Battery arrived here safe this morning at 3 AM. The boys are all in good spirits. James and all of us were at the Depo all night waiting their arrival. I am unable just now to say [when?] they will be [out?] but will by & by. John has grown tall and looks well but not so fleshy as I expected. We are all well. Respectfully yours Dear Brother. M Shirey turn over
