June  the  29 1864
        I     have only got to
         letters  from you Father
nothing pleases me better than
to hear from home oncen a
while only 2 letters since we left
Indanapolis you say that it
is very dry  tell us  how
  the Crops looks Corn is as
tall as my head here their
is not much in the Country
only  little patch now and
then the ref gees is plenty
here from all of the Sothern States
they go to the Commesary
and draw grub the some as us
wright and tell us why
you dont wright oftener than
you do tell Cassadays Boys
to wright to us we have rote
to them Several times and
got no answer yet Something
Strang  that we have got no
letters from them I reckon the

Cause is that we are
in the union army they
Couldent better them Selves
if they was here tell us
how the lection went did
[Con?] git elected for Constable
and did Wiley gain superviser
or not  he rote to Wiley and
sent a union ticket in the
letter he says that your
wheat is as good as your he ever
Seen he Says that he would
like to have a lot of us
soldiers to help help him
Cut wheat but I tell you
what if it is hot thier
as it is here you Could not
Cut much in one day
their is no wheat here
to Cut if you Cant
get the wheat Cut
with out the money}See 22
