Well dinner is over, and what do you suppose we had'n some biskets as yellow as gold mi'ty good though. Fresh beef and sugar. I just drew my ration of sugar for eight days. got pretty near 2 lbs. Well I must close as my paper is nearly full. I'm soon going to run out of paper and stamps, and Im strapped I dont see why they dond pay us again, I expect they are wating till we get to St Louis, it is too provoking to write here I get interupted every five minutes with some thing. H.E. sends his best respects. my love to you all and prayers for your well being Your Bro and son Jas.
