Orleans worth 1/2 million dollars - and Liut
Ostrander of Kentucky - Dr Glanci of Texas -
and other celebrities all our sugeons freeze to
me they say I am a "good fellow" do you think
so -
There is a melodeon in camp and because
I can play "holley" the soldiers think I am an
Excellent performer Why I heard two of them
say there goes that apothecary he is a splendid
player on the Melodeon - What a libel
I will write you again soon how lonely I
shall feel to night Oh darling pet I wish I could
only get a kiss from you - I love you all the same
And I shall have a chance to see whether there
is any truth in that saying that "absence makes
the heart grow fonder" by being away I cant
say whether I shall be down for certain
withiin a month my love to your father &
Mother little Helen and all my friends
accept the largest portion yourself
from yours affectionately
Richard
