  • Dear friends and relations December the 3, 1861 I now embrace the opportunity of righting you a few lines. I can inform you that my health is not very good at this time. I have had the worst cold I ever had in my life and a very severe cough with it. I have taken so much cold since I came into camp that I have been very puny for several days past but I think that I will recover before long. Tolliver Huse is in the hospital, I think it is cold that ails him. He complains of being full of pains and one of his jaws is swelled right smart but I think he will recover before long. There has been a doctor appointed for this Regiment and no one else can give any medicine but him. I can inform you that this Regiment will leave here the 5 day of this month which is Thursday, for Raleigh and it is very likely that it will take up there for winter quarters. I have been in camp long enough to give you some description of the times and the conduct here. There is a little of most every thing carried on here, but more of evil than any thing else. We have fiddling, dancing, picking the banjo, cursing plenty, preaching, praying, singing and other things that is as mean as any. I have been rather surprised at the conduct here for I believe they are worse here than when they was at home. Yet among it all there is some good. I received two letters from Burt since I come hear, they was all well and doing well. I read the letter that you sent by John Bowman and read it with pleasure and satisfaction.
