Dear Sister

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 /
