p.

They tell me I have grown poor within
the last three days and I should not
wonder. My leg is most well of
the effects of my fall, one week ago,
though it will require some time, for
it to heal, [underline]entirely[/underline]. Capt Galt has
gone to Washington, to-day, for Bag-
gage which the Regiments have in
Store there. I have not seen Obe
yet and conclude he stopped in N.Y.
a few days to see the boys. We hear
very little of them here. Squads of [underline]Sub-
stitutes[/underline] come in occasionally, but none
yet whom I know.

I never knew till last week
that Rufus Tabor came out in the
Tenth Regiment. He is now on detach-
ed service with the Ambulance Corps
of their Div.: (Genl. Birney's) is 2d Lt.
Please excuse me if I write no more.

Love to all, as ever.

Thy loving Son
