still be with it. We are all anxiously awaiting to hear of the success of our side at Corinth. Surely there will be no more severe engagements after that in the west. I feel confident you will be spared yet O how I wish it was over. Some times I think may be you are going to come home, & how happy we will be. I am afraid to say resign & come home, for fear it would not be right but still I am so afraid of your taking sick so far South. The remedy I send you I want you to follow, & keep it with you for you might be taken where you could not get the assistance of a surgeon. I know you will do all in your power to preserve your health & that cheers me a great deal. I have no sad forbodings with regard to your safe return to us yet I do not want you to get sick & no kind loving wife to tenderly care for you. No, I have cheerful expectations of soon seeing you, & I am very hopeful,
