any other circumstances but I know you won't be mad when I tell you that I wrote to Caroline last evening and there is four letters lying on the box before me as if they were mutely demanding answers besides that there is only once in a while that I can write frequently. I haven't time for sevral days sometimes it is to cold for jack frost beg me to traverse this region and scatter the leaves. We have had prety chilly weather lately and several slight freezes, but we have no good fires to write by nor even a close room however we prefer cold weather to wet. We sleep pretty comfortable. There is six sleeps in a tent being three pairs. Wm Milam from the vicinity of Uniontown, are associated together and between us we have four blankets and he has one heavy quilt and we each have a heavy overcoat that we employ as pillows at night. Wm is not in the same tent that I am but I guess he fares well at any rate
