killed & wounded of the 5th Cap I Brown stayed on the ground until he received three wounds he is severely wounded in the left breast he is a brave fellow worthy of all praise this was in the battle of Iuka I hope he soon recover. we leave here tomorrow morning destination unknown to me at least, I am about tired staying here anyhow. it is reported that the south is trying to compromise but I have little faith in peace being made that way. I hope it will be not long till we may git home but I have less hopes of getting home soon now then I had when I enlisted still I am not discouraged and in as good spirits as the weather will permit.
