Pine Bluff, Ark. Mar 11th 1864 Dear Father and Mother,

I again address you these few lines to inform you How I am. I am Still in Hopsital and have done no duty Since I wrote you last, but I think I am improving Slowly. I have been quite weak, and feeble during the winter. I am great hopes that I will get well again. I hope these lines may find you, and all my Relatives, well when they may reach your hands. I wrote a letter to you Some time ago in Answer to sister Margarets letters but have had no answer as yet I think it a good long while Since I have heard from you I am very anxious to hear from you and to learn how things are Progressing. I have no important news to write to you. It is expected that our Regiment will remain here until we are ordered North to be mustered out of the Service.
