8 Continued 5

the bay horse did and at ten o'clock I attended church and heard an excelent sermon now I can hear some men playing at cards in the tent joining. Our parade ground is on the Sangamon bottom but there is a large strip of timber between the ground and the river. This timber is filled with logs over which our horses leap as we go and return from watering. I had seen grape vines in there that are big enough to make one cord of hickory wood and sloats that would make good peach pies . . . The next time you seen Maria tell he I bid her good by just as much as I did the rest and be shure and dont make ratter sick the next time you ought to have my pony (I call him suse) to ride
