Text Any textual data included in the document Georgia Camp at Savannah June 21st 1865 Dear Brother, I received your letter a few days since in reply to mine & was glad to hear of your continued good health. Your excuse for not writing sooner is a very good one. I notice you were very busy & had a good many "irons in the fire" than is right only Keep them all agoing, hammer tongs, & all the old adage of "too many irons in the fire" conveys an untruth. It seems you have taken to farming a little in connection with your shopwork. Well, I trust it a good thing for you [Page 2] aside from the farming profit it is not good to confine ourselves too much indoors but out- door exercise is highly beneficial to us. We are still here in camp. Just outside the city limits. Our camp is on a river spot& is inclined to the South, & West we have quite good water for cooking purposes & have free access to the river for bathing we have erected arbours in our Com. streets to shelter us from the burning rays of the South. Our fare is salt portk & beans & hardtack with a little coffee twice each day. We get few vegetables, which are beginning to be more plenty now if we have the money to buy them. [Page 3] As yet, we have none as the paymaster has not yet made his appearance among us but we hope to see him soon for we all would really like some funds. As yet it is a general time of health among us & we hope it will continue. Now & then we trade articles of clothing for vegetables or something for a change of eatables. I do not see as there is any argument on the part of the commissariat for any such neadment of soldiers. Certainly it is not so much depleted as to require any such stringen- cy & we are not far from base of supplies so that there is no reason for such a state of things but something is wrong [Page 4, blank] [Page 5] Continuance & we are lead to the opinion that somebody is making a "Pile" out of our rations. If I should live so at home I should think it miserable poor. If we have on an active campaign or we should expect such things but such is not the case. We are in camp or garrison & are entitled to good & wholesome food particularly in this hot climate. I am not one one of those who complains & heretofore have said nothing about our fare but now I think it time I speak a word -- Whether it does any good or not we shall no doubt have to remain in this vicinity all summer & I think we ought to get more vegetables. [Page 6] I notice the work of reconstru- ction is going on in all the different states & the people are adapting themselves to the new order of things. The Negroes are an indolent lot, as I always knew & have little or no faculty to set themselves to work to better their condition, but perhaps they will get to it after awhile. But enough about the Negro. I notice Father has another housekeeper & I trust he will mark such an arrangement as will insure her remaining with him for some time to come. I suppose his place is still encumbered with a mortgage, which he has not the ability to meet or to pay [Page 7] When I was at home, he wished me to take it, but I could not then see the propriety of my doing so. probably if it is ever to be paid one of us will have to pay it or it will pass most of the name of the family. I don’t know but I might help pay it. if the place opposite your or the Peckham place. I suppose it is, could be bought so that we could own all on both sides the road unmolested. This would give me a comfortable place with land enough such as it is. Then I should not wish to interfere with yours in any arrangement you may make, or might have made in relation [Page 8] to any, or all of the property here I speak of, but I speak of it as a thing or transaction which might transpire perhaps you might feel, of the parties who are interested, I see what might be done in the matter it would be very desireable to own all of the land on that corner. I don’t know as that place can be bought at all, it is only an idea which has occurred to me. Since I sit down to write if you please you can give me such information as you may or might possess upon inquiring but I must close & I trust then will find you all well much love to you all.

I received your very excellent letter of 14th inst. yesterday on board steer Ohio Belle on which we had embarked bound up the river for some point in Rebeldom unknown to us but supposed to be Vicksburg Miss. but mans plans are often frustrated & so these ones for we had not gone more than fifteen miles up the river before the Machinery gave out. a Shaft was broken & cilinder [sic] head stove & one man in his Excitement jumped through a window & severely cut his arm. two horses were so much injured that we had to shoot them to get them out of the bay & the boat was put [Page 2] about & we steamed to our old camp again where we now are. & all seem to be engaged in visiting of their friends. & no doubt some- thing of any trip. how long we shall remain here is unknown to me as all movements are until we are called upon to pack up which has been often of late. for we have been going & never seeming to get anywhere this being the second time we have started for Up the River the weather is awful hot & we landed this morning & just got our tents up to shelter us from the blazing hot sun & are enjoying the best of a Soldier’s life.

Some help to put down the rebellion & instead of doing their duty aid the enemy. But I will not enlarge on this point for truth is mighty & will prevail. Sometime or other. & perhaps such using is their reward. I am glad that you are all well & are prospering for we need all of us prosperity. I have no doubt Shall have it if we do our duty I am very glad to hear from you & always shall be & hope you will [Page 4] continue this corespondence [sic] so well begun.

I was in hopes he would arrange with you to improve his land, but it seems he has not.
