+Letter of Jasper B. Cheney to his father
+Relay House M D
+June 3d 1862
+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.
