  • Vicksburg Miss March the 24th 1865 My Dear wife after an absence of six months from the Federal lines during which time I have bin in Cahaba prison Ala a place something simmilar to purgatory, I can inform you that I am yet alive and in tolerable good health The Boys of Company (F) are all here that are from our neiborhood except Harvy Brown and Robert Furgerson they left Cahaba about the 20th of Nov with a squad of about two hundred sick and wounded. The Rebs said they were going to Savannah Georgia for exchange But Sherman took Savannah and they were stopt at Macon we have not heard from them since. they were both tolerable low when they left just able to walk Well we are here in parole camp four miles from Vicksburg not exchanged but expecting to be shortly we are fed clothed and guarded by our own men we have plenty of everthing except money and we don't need but verry little of that in fact we don't really need any the United States Sanitary Commission furnishes paper pens ink news papers books and allmost any thing else we call for we can get passes to go to Vicksburg any time we want to go
