- Notes
- Some have been sick; "Soon i shall be Sick but i hope not whilse i Am in the war for it is not a very good place for any one to be sick." No place better to sleep in than a hog pen. Ten men from the regiment have already died. Bentley will have his likeness taken and sent. Would like to help pick apples this fall and eat his sister's fried cakes and cheeses. Does not think he will be in any battles as they are encamped for winter. Has all the oysters he could want to eat. Prices of butter, cheese. "tel Gill that if i Should liv to come home Again i Should be to lasy to care the whiskey jug Around for him And his hands i Should want to Set down and drink it all miself." Direct mail in care of E. A. Ludwick, 112th Regiment New York Volunteers.
