Dear Mary,-

We are in the old Camp yet. It is getting monotonous as we have the same work to do each day. Alex H. Wells is getting on well with his arm and having an easy time. I often see Geo. Wells. He keeps in good health. Henry J. Cleveland, Mitcher McFarland, Peter McNassor, Will and all keep well although some of the company are sick. Lieut. Will Reynolds of the 93rd Regiment called on me two days ago. He was looking well. I had a good visit with him, talking of friends at home. The 93rd Regiment are General McClellan's Headquarter Guard and had been left with his company to guard his ammunition wagons. They are within three miles of us. We have not worked as hard as we were two weeks ago. It has been very dry; we have had no rain since we left Salem until the 11th. It has been quite wet since. We have had no frost yet. Mr. John King left us for home on the 13th (last Monday). When you see him he will tell you all about us. Our officers continue very kind and are respected both in and out of our Company. I have not had a short word from any of them. Will is a good soldier, ever ready to do whatever he is called on to do. We have many fine fellows with us. I must close.
