Extract from a Letter

Dear Mrs. P.:—I have been intending to write to you for the past week, but this is the first time I have made a start.

We are having bad weather now. It has rained for nearly a week without a stop until to-day, and our camp looks like a lake. In some places the water is a foot deep, and we think we shall have to be moved as soon as it stops raining. The rainy season has just got a good start, and if it keeps this up much longer we shall have to use boats. Some of the boys are sick, but I am feeling fine. I had a claim of sore throat, but I read the book Science and Health, and I am all right now. I don't get much time to read, but I manage to read some every day. I have been promoted since I came here, and have more work to do. Yours truly,
H. S. D., Co. F, Forty-ninth Iowa Vol. Inf.
