I was very glad to get your letter it was such a good one and so long that it made me think I must write you a long letter. We live very well now have sweetened joneycake every day & they are good too I do not hear anything from Deloss, over a month since I wrote him a letter and sent it by a man that was going South through the lines he said it would go all right. I should like to know if it has I wrote about it at the time but dont know as you got my letter for I have had no letters from you saying any thing about it. one thing if we go on a Campaign now I shall not have to cary any thing (which I always have had to do heretofore and I believe done it as well as any of them, we have plenty of Blankets any can carry them on the wagon. I understood by Charlys letter that Father could not vote for Mr. Lincoln, and I was very much Surprised to hear it for I knew he was a man that read and sounded the weight of the present cricis but I am happy to learn that he is going to vote for the only right man now running it is not McClellan as much as it is the platform and the way he and the rest white wash it I must close for tonight for I have written enough for one day and it is bed times. Good night. Cell
