until yesterday to relieve me, think now, that I will be well in a fiew days, I have no Idea how I got poisoned, presume I got it from the poison Ivy that growes in the swamps in this Country, several others in the Regiment have the same Disease among Geo [Rollett?], but none have had it as bad as I. Otherwise my health is good and I think in a fiew days time I will be able to inform you of my entire recovery, I was pained to hear of Marys Illness hope she has entierly recovered by this time. I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Keokuk & Bentonsport so well like to hear you enjoy yourself as well as you can. do wish I could see you once more, the time is beginning to pass slowly, but there is no alternative. the only consolation that I have is the belief that the war will not last my time out, it is reported in Camp that we will start on another Campaign
