Dear Sister

Mag

I recd your letter / a few days ago. I wrote to you / just after the fights but you dont / seem to have recd the letter. /

You will please see Dan Conrad / and give him my sincere / thanks for Kicking Jim McBride / And I hope he will do it again. / And I will hold myself to be / under renewed obligatious to / him every time he does the / same thing. I am / very well, all the Freeport / boys that you know got / through the battles without getting / hurt. Bill Myers & John / Freeman who were wounded & away / at the Hospitals have got back / and are good as new. /

Remember me to all the folks / & particularly to Ben Huey /

[Page 2]

I have some business on / hand, so I must close /

Remember me to Mrs Lyon / when you see her. /

I have written to / Mr Lyon & to Ell lately

Your (unknown)

Gus
