am sorry to see him leave us. I will not write much as Capt. Smith will give you all the news. I will just say we leave here in the morning. We are ordered to Richmond. It is 14 or 15 miles from here. As we have to start early in the morning I will bring this to a close, and pack my things, and rool myself up in my Blanket and rest for the night. So good night. Love to all. Write soon I am well Your affectionate Son James Howell
