Dear Perrants,
I now take my pen in hand to inform that I am a live and midlin well. I have got a small cold and my head akes a little but I dont think it will last long.
I just sent 20 dollars by express to Mrs Dolly Collins at Kinzua. It will be left at Warren with judge R. Brown. That will be besides the 12 that the govament send. 12 dollars more is to be sent there now. Look out for it all. 12 that was there, 12 that goes there this time and 20 1 sent you by express. Look out for that mony. I think that is a nuf to pay for loozing a day for.
12 I expect mother you will have to give pap an order to git it for I sent it in your name so no one would take it for debt. Git it soon as you can for you dont know how I feel about it. Because you hant got that 12 dollars that has been there so long and I want you to try to git that mony rite off. And let me know if you can git it or not, for if you cant I want to know it so I can try and stop it. But I dont expect I can. But if you cant git it I shall try to stop it if I git cortmarchal for it. Write soon and let me know all a bout it for I feel uneazy a bout it. We expect to move from heare soon and I dont know where we will go but I expect it will be to South Carlina. It is re ported that we shall march from hear with in 10 Days but I dont know how true it is. Sylvester he is at Baltimore in the Genral hospitle. Fletcher is in the Hospitle at Gorgetown. I got a letter from Sylvester night be fore last. He says he is no better than he was when he left Camp. No more. Truly Yours
