6 P.M.

Have not heard a word from you since I came here except by the letters that were forwarded from Alexandria; think you must have failed to receive the letters I have sent you. I know no more about matters & things than when I last wrote. Am feeling very well; hope to hear from you tomorrow. Geo Bates started for home yesterday

Wrote to Abbie yesterday. I am very anxious to hear from home. Would write a letter if I had time. Will write soon.

Your Aff. Brother
