In camp near “Bermuda Hundred” Friday Evening, Sept. 9, 1864 My Darling Wife, I will pass a portion, at least, of this evening in scribbling for you. I expect a letter tomorrow or the next day so I have this started already. We got our knapsacks from Norfolk on the 6th inst. and we needed them now that the nights are getting colder. (A line here is indecipherable due to being in the crease where it fell apart. Other asterisks will mean the same thing.) ...got their pay and 30 days furlough at Madison. I am very glad to hear it. I also heard some stories about them-- that they were not quite so clean and free from insects as they might have been. That is rather rough on them but still there might be some truth in the story. In fact, I don’t think a single one, Officer or Private has been free from such things now. Except those who were detailed away from the Regt. and so had a chance to take care of themselves. I found it impossible to to keep altogether free so long as I had to be in the crowded rifle pits, although I always had (what the greater part did not) a change of underclothing. I believe I am quite free from such things now, and I think that most of the men are nearly so now. Sept. 12/64 My Darling Wife, I have just rec’d your welcome letter of the 1st inst. with N. J. House’s enclosed. I got a paper or rather several papers in one at the same time. And Darling I must say that yours is a long one this time and as good as it is long. But I am sorry to see that the story of my hardships and little troubles made you *** ...but I feel very much better than I did and my appetite is quite good (in fact far better than the rations) and I am gaining flesh. I was on Camp Guard last night for the first time in a long while. But I am spending money, rather, getting into debt for I have been obliged to buy a good deal from the *** ...a journey to the Post Office after the letter for they are generally kept in the office until the postage is paid. My Darling I am very glad to be able to tell you that my health is better lately. I cannot call myself well for I have not entirely got rid of the diarrhea yet and my legs are weakened and stiff (caused I suppose by the rheumatism and partly by the drug medicine I have been taking) ***
