My Darling Wife
We arrived here
last night after a hard dreary march. In less
than an half an hour after I got here I had you letter in my hand reading it. Oh how glad I was to get it. I read it so many times I can almost repeat the
whole of it. My dear girl I thank you a
thousand times for your letter. We start this
afternoon for Fort Scott sixty miles from here. When
I get there I will write you a long letter and give you an account of our march. I have been acting as Major of the Regiment so I
have had a horse to ride. I shall ride
through to Fort Scott. Expect our Major will
not be with us till we get there. My health
is good. I am heavier and stronger than I was
when I started. I wrote you a letter from
Warrensburg. Have you got it. I wrote in that letter for you to send me your
photograph. Do Sis send it as soon as you can
and I assure you I won't let the "naughty folks" trouble me. Now darling I would like to write you a long
letter but we start right away and if I don't hurry I shant get this in the office so I
kiss you and Lill and stop. Can't you write
me twice a week. Do at least once a week. And I will write you just as often as I can. Good bye Sis
Charley
The boys from Omro are all well.
