wish I had her here awhile this pleasant evening to romp with for awhile, I think this is the most delightful climate I ever was in as it is so very pleasant. Some of the days are quite warm but at night it is cool and pleasant One thing I presume that makes it more pleasant is the nice Showers of rain which we have 3 or 4 time evry week, There is some talk that we will leave here before many days but how true it is I cannot tell. I would be satesfied to remain here the balance of my time of Soldiering. The health of the men is most excellent, and not a man been on the sick list in Co "J" for nearly two weeks The boys are grumbling considerable of late because they do not get any pork to eat as they have been furnished with fresh beef evry day for nearly 2 weeks and they begin to want a change but I cannot see that the beef hurts their health any. We are haveing plenty to eat, and I will give you a bill of fare of what we have for supper
