My Own Dear Brother It is with undieing (undying) Love and Profound gratitude that I grasp my Pen to drop you a few lines to inform you that I am well at the present time, truly hopeing (hoping) these few lines will find you well and doing well and surrounded with all the acquirements of a happy life. My Dear Brother, it seems so long since I last was you. You fell verry (very) near and dear to me. I oft times think of the times that we have sported together in our Boy-hood at home with our fond Parents, unmolested or troubled, with this Horred (Horrid) Cruel War wich (which) causes so mutch (much) distress in our land, causes many a victom (victim) to the missels (missiles) of Death and she is left a lone in a world of afflicktion (affliction) and distress. But we should turn our affections to the Author of our being for he is just and righteous in all his ways. Levi, I seed (I've seen) hard times this last summer. We had a heap of hard marching to do and fared but common. We drawed Bred and Beef , a common one lb. of Flour, 3/4 of a lb. of Beef. I have not heard but verry (very) little from my Regt. since I have bin (been) at this place. I have not heard from Gilbert Caldwell and J. L. Crouse in some two months. I am very anxious to hear from them. I've bin (been) in many a Fight and skirmish this last campaign. I think it has bin (been) the hardest one of the War. I think this campaign is about over in the vally (valley), or at least I hope so. I believe I rather stay in the vally (valley) than to stay around Petersburg and Richmond. I herd (heard) today that Gen. Early is a going to move back to Waynesboro between Staunton and Charlottesville. I wish it may be so. I want them to take up winter quarters somewhere on the Railroad so I can get something to eat from home for I am tired of the army fare. I am verry (very) tired of eatting (eating) one thing all the time and not enough at that. Levi, I want you if you please to bring me a pare of Socks when you come back to the Army. I think by the time you come back, we will be camped near the Railroad. Well, Levi, I recon you are all right seting (sitting) up chewing among the Girls. I expect you will eat chicken till your pen Feathers will grow out again. I know you will have a lively time if you (your) health will permit and I hope it will. Let me know how you are a geting (getting) along out on Battle Run and over close to our Little Mountain, if her Aint (Aunt) Hider it is ______ her sister. A good place to get chicken to eat. Levi, I hope your health has recovered so by this time so that you can enjoy yourself. Give all my acquainted Friends my best respects. Give all the Family my hyest (highest) regards and except a portion your self. Levi, everything is awful here in this place but I believe that is the case all over the Confedercy (Confederacy). This Town is situated on the South side of the James River. This is rather a broken looking country and Ruff (rough) looking town seat tho (though) some verry (very) Good and nice Buildings. My wound still discharges some yet. I dont (don't) know how long I will stay here, but I suppose not long. Write soon and often. Direct to Ladies Relief Hospital, Lynchburg, Va, Room No. 15, in care of Miss Otey Fremain. As ever your affectionate Brother
