My Dear Cousin: I'll bet this really surprises you. What? 1 reveived a letter from you in England and answered it. I won der if you ever received it. Anyway, it h is been so Ions since I've heard from you I supposed you didn't and I even forgot your address.

Of course now yoi. want to know about this war and I am bond to tell you all about It, but first let this get a deep root You know about twice as much about this particular war as I do. Of course it is a bloody war and I really think that Sherman only had half an idea when he named war. But this is what makes me sore, "Friti don't even know I'm here yet or I'm sure he would let up. I've done everything in my power to in form but somehow Bill himself never seems to get a hold of the news. If everything goes well it will be over in a couple of years, and a lot of us will be "pushing up daisies" by hen. Some of the boys already start ed them this spring and lots of them are "going West" every day. If things don't go well she may be over sooner, but as I've said, he is bound to find out sooner or Inter that I'm here and then he win rin u thlnkloj he eaa win.
