Mr dear Mother:

Once more am I rejoiced
by a Letter from thee and, as usual
do not incline to let it lay unanswer-
ed over night. I see it is just two
weeks since the date of the one thee
acknowledges the receipt of but I
think I have written once since
then. Iat makes no differrence tho.'
I am still here, and likely to be so
for the present, though I think of
knowing more of a surety to-morrow
or at least [underline]soon[/underline]. If [CC?] go to N.Y.
I shall sure let you know at once
for I should then hope to see some
of my dear Friends for a short time.
I do not get any very deffinite news
of the place position or prospects
of the Brigade and do not know
what or where their duties are in
the [Q?], Union, Rebel, Gotham,
