room for my bedding &c. I had all the letters I had received since I had been in the State some 25 in number which made considerable of a bundle and as room was precious I burned all of them, and that among the rest. It is Still the old cry with us, that is no. paymaster yet, but we are becomeing used to doing without, and are consoleing ourselves with the reflections that when it does come there will be the more of it but whether our Creditore al consoles themselves in that way is another question, but one thing sure. they cannot get it before we do. In 7 more days there will be 4 monts pay due us, and I presume that it will all be paid at one time. By the by has Sam Minor ever paid you yet. If you have not sent the things yet that I ordered, send them at your earliest convenience and direct to Munfordville. I received a letter from Bill Van and Nancy when I received you last one and will answer it in a day or two. I will also write to Orrilla soon I say Bully for the Masque Balls. I think if a certain Lady in Liberty should hear the opinion of her brother who is here, on the subject, she would make herself scarce at such places, and would also try and not get the breeches on, in the future. I do not think the Ladies who raised such a hubbub with their husbands at the Masquerade would do such a thing particularly at such a place, for surely they have the same chance to change pastures as their leige Lords, and I think such thinks are gotten up for that purpose as much as any other. I had almost forgotten to say that the general health of the Company was quite good. The ones that ware sent to Louisville and to the Barracks are still there. Jeff Wolfe and Bud Thatcher ware left behind again at Camp Glen Brook, but will be brought on in a day or two. I will write again in a few days and will be looking anctiously for letters from you evry day for I tell you the time begins to seem long. No more for the present from your Affectionate husband A.F. Davis
