Text Any textual data included in the document U.S.S. Gunboat Chippewa Port Royal S.C. Monday Nov. 2nd 1863 Dear Sister, The last letter I received from you was written Oct. 10th I recieved it on the 19th. I have written to you since then. Yesterday I recieved a letter from Pa and cousin Gary and another from Homer dated Oct. 17th 'The folks' were all comfortably well. We have just got the ship afloat, yesterday she went ashore without our consent, and remained there until afternoon today, when with the assistance of tugs she finally took to the water again. We had started on a tour up Broad River, and when about 10 miles on our way came to that sudden halt. We are now down by the Vermont, in Port-Royal harbor, and I hope shall remain here until some duty more suitable to the vessel be dre provided for hjer. I am very glad that you are so well pleased wiht your school +c. You say that perhaps Homer has found some Warren correspondence, who takes up some of your ^his time, since you left there. Very likely he has, and, for my part I really hope so, for if he has not Warren news must be a scarce article with him, as it certainly has ^been with me since you went to New York. The first letter I have had from home since that time arrived yesterday. it was exceedingly interesting however, and partially atoned in that way for its late appearance. It seems they are having very lively times in Warren about this time but you, no doubt have more frequent communication with that [page 2] place than I do so I will not attempt to enlighten you You must not fail to write to Pa as often as you can. He will miss you very much you have been at home so steadily before. Remember that letters are very good company when individuals cannot be together. You sent me your picture in your last letter which arrived in good condition. It is a very good one. You say that you wear longer dresses now, some of my friends on this ship have pictures of their lady friends which were take lately and I should think that they wore longer dresses than they used to when I left home a regular trail, of two or three feeet on the pavement. I wonder what will come into fashion next, I suppose that by the time I get North the dress of the natives of that place will look about as odd as the "cheese boxes" that the Spaniards wear for hats. It will be time for me to hear from the Department again in two or three days, but it is very uncertain, I guess the Ship will go North in about three months, and I shall probably get there by that time, I don't feel at all sure that I shall before, by any means.. You must'nt feel too sure of seeing me very soon. I know that you must be pretty busy now, so that I shall not always wait for an answer to my last letter before writing to you, I want to write to Pa before the mail closes, so no more this time. Write when you can. Very truly yours, Augustine Sackett.
