Dear Father and Mother

	I wrote to Juliet

a few days since - and stated that I was not 

very well. It was nothing more than a slight 

attack of fever, and I am now quite well 

again. I appear to stand the influences of 

this country very well in all my campaigning 

in the South my health has been remarkably 

good until about two weeks ago when I was 

taken with chills and fever. I was not very 

sick at any time-being able to attend 

my duties every day. I have now recovered 

and feel almost as well as ever.

Gen. Buckland and Col. Crockett are still 

quite sick. The Gen. is better today and I 

think that his fever has changed for the better 

Col. Crockett has been having fever of a 

congestive form but is in no immediate danger 

at present.

Today I read two letters one from home and
