going to have a mess of Dandelions for dinner
to day we had Beans. but they were stewed.
how I would like a good plate of baked!
You say you hope I wont go to Sherman, and to
tell the truth I dont care to very much at present
altho I wish they would order us to N.Y. but
there is no danger of our being ordered to join
the Corps 'till it stops and that will not be
'till the Campaign is Ended and when that
is done the end of the Rebelion and all fighting
will be at hand.
I am glad [Lave] is going home. I have written
to her but the freshets through he Country has
raised the old boy with the males. and I supose
it will be a month of two before I get an answer
After I came from the river I set myself down
and read your letter, mended a pair of [Locks]
sowed a button on my pants and Eat my
dinner and comenced wrighting to you and
now I will stop as I shall probaly want to write
again Wednesday, as I am about shure we
shall get paid by that time Give my love
to all and keep a good share for yourself.
now good by darliing. Foster
