Dear Wife

I sit down a few moments
 this eve to write you a few
lines to let you know that we are
all alive and that is all we can
say we left Baltimore last monday
for the Raley House 9 miles from
Baltimore to gard the railroad
it is the most Butiful place I
have ever seen in the south some
nice farms and good people so far
but it is south after all I will give you
a discription our jouney the regement
left at 8 oclock in the morning leaving
me with our bagge Lyman though
he must go with the regerment and
leave father and be a man so they
went out to the camp ground and
stayed there all day without any
