delacies [delicacies] They guard us as
if we were prisoners of
war instead of wounded
soldiers There is no grounds
to walk in arround [around] the hospital
and one can only obtain a
pass for a few hours seldom
It makes no difference to
me at present but I am
only telling how they use the
soldiers here There are many
McClelan [McClellan] Copperheads here
in the town and they are
bolder and more braggart
than the rebels in the front
But the adage says "a barking
dog never bites" They keep away
from where teeth are appleed [applied]
for their disease I hope peace
McClelan [McClellan] peace men are
scarce Where as they should
be in all loyal places I wish
I could help the right with
my vote I have tried to with
my saber and believe I have
done some service in that
way. Write soon Love to all
