let that letter answer questions of this. As to Granges being with me I can't say. He is now but how long he may be he don't know. Dr. Allen had nothing to do with it. I don't know where I am now I suppose I expect he will be home in a few days and then I shall see him. I should like to get detailed up farther north some how but don't see any way yet. I await for something to turn up. I have not seen Mr. Bissell though I knew he was at camp, nor any of his goodies. What did you send? I want to know for I think they might take the trouble to send them and my letters to me when there are boats coming every day from every landing to this boat and they only a few miles off and if they don't I want to know what they get on my account. I cannot leave my post or I'd go to the Reg. myself. I shall not see Jo. probably for some time. Do the best you can for garden. Keep the weeds down if you [have?] to do it. It will pay to have a good garden and don't you worry yourself out at work on or in it, mind now. Just do as little outdoor work as you can. The cow I suppose with slop will not be much trouble. Get a pig to feed if you haven't. I think Charles better take the money sent and pay off the mortgage on that lot if he has not disposed of it than for a sewing machine. Even calves, hogs or any thing that will make would be better. They are clothed any how and she has no time to make anything out of it
