Eufaufa Ala.
June 25th 1865
Dear Wife,
It is with sorrow that I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines in answer to Mrs. Wyrick's latter of the 11th inst. Which found me well and hearty today. The letter has been here three or four days but I have been down the river to the gulf and just got back a few hours ago. Dear Wife, I am very anxious to know what is the matter with you and am sorry to hear that you worry about me, for I am as well as I can be except that humor which was broke out on me but the medicine which I took has nearly cured it. The gathering which was on my arm got all well without breaking.
I had a very interesting trip down through Florida, but our time was too short for me to get any trophies. As soon as we got here, they told us that the whole detachment is ordered to go to Macon tomorrow. The cars leave here at 4 o'clock in the morning. There are different rumors what we are going back there for but I think it is for us to be mustered for the next two months' pay.
I am glad that Mrs. Wyrick favored you by writing to me for I always want to hear from you. I have not heard from Henry for some time but at last account he was well. I was glad to hear that George is doing well. I wrote you a letter last Sunday and gave you all the news I could htink of. This letter will not be mailed till we get to Macon as there is no mail from here to Macon.
Macon, June 26th. We started from Eufaula this morning at 5 o'clock and got to this place about 3 P.M. I am still well and hearty and hope and pray that ere this letter reaches you you may have regained your health and be in good spirits. If I had my money I would try to get a furlough but I am still in hopes they will discharge us before long. We are going to Milligeville day after tomorrow. They say our boys are having fine times there. There are several of our Co. sick with the fever.
Mrs. Wyrick has my sincere thanks for writing to ms as I always want to hear from you. My respects to Mr. and Mrs. Wyrick. I have no news so I will close in hopes of hearing from you soon again from your true affectionate Husband

My love to all so Good Bye
