+ | Dear Father | ||
+ | |||
+ | Today I mailed a letter directed to you which contains a | ||
+ | draft of $50 dollars which I hope may go through safe. I have | ||
+ | no news to write today. George Winson and I talk of sending | ||
+ | some things home which we cannot carry with us if we get our | ||
+ | horses. Four men out of our Co. have taken a French furlough, | ||
+ | S. Briggs, Wm D. Adams of Otsego Co. P. Bowdish of New | ||
+ | Berlin, Lunis Low of Pitcher. They left soon after the | ||
+ | retreat. Inclosed I send my warrant, which I would like to | ||
+ | have you keep safe. I believe this is all at present. | ||
