and One Camp Stool but nothing else. I am Sorry to hear of Ellas sad affliction and I deeply sympathise with her. I am too tired to write out my journal for you tonight but will do so in a day or two and send it to you. I think young America is getting quite rampant in Liberty and some of them are learning the art of self defense quite young. I am glad to hear that Wm Serring has landed home safe but there is a mistake somewhere in regard to so many deaths in Camp it is true there has been several deaths but I think not to exceed one dozen in all by sickness. There is several men down but not as many as I supposed would be after the exposier we had last week. McCasterline is laying in my tent quite sick but not at all dangerous. and I hope will be about again in a few days. The bugles are now sounding tatoo and lights must be out soon so I must stop for the present. I have not received Henry Husteds letter which you Spoke of. I received one from Newton today I wrote a lengthy one to Ferman some 2 weeks since. I will write to you again in 2 days. I wish I had the socks you speak of for I need them badly but will just wait awhile longer. Good night for I am going to bed. It is now morning Oct 5th and I feel much refreshed after a good nights sleep but must close this in time for the mail. My best respects to all and my undying love to yourself and the children. Your Affectionate Husband A. F. Davis.
