And the thing is [underline]Busted[/underline]! Robinson was here and all of the Boys who were in the 27 Hospt. Robinson has gon home on Furlough I dont think he will be back here as he is a western man. I am afraid I put you to a great trouble in trying to get the money I asked you for. I hope I can repay you in some way. we have been mustered for pay. I hope we will no get our legal tenders. Brooks send his regard to you he is the same old Boy full of dry jokes.
