all that ware in the Stores to be brought out and succeeded in getting 18 pairs for each company and in our company we let them draw lots who should have them. The poor fellows who ware unlucky in drawing could not have looked more disappointed or sorrowful if they had lost their best friend. Just here I will say that if the ladies are Still contributing for the Soldiers they need never be afraid of getting too many Socks on hand. In sending anything to us direct to Nashville or await until you hear from us again. I received yours & Bill Vans letters of the 24th which is the last I have heard from any of you I will answer them soon as I can get time and paper enough. I borrowed this sheet of paper as my own is in my trunk and I cannot get at it. I believe the Liberty boys are all well John Macy was at Nashville in the Barracks when we come through there. You was mistaken about one of our company being tried for desertion there was one tried but he belonged to another company, but before his sentence was read he succeeded in making his escape but was retaken and is now in jail in Nashville. My sheet is full therefore I must close. Direct to Louisville. Your affectionate husband A .F. Davis
