1861 April 17th Columbia S.C.

Dear Creek

We have all arrived here safe,
and are all quartered in an empty store house
for the present, we cant tell how long we will be
here, as no orders has yet arrived for our
further disposal as yet, we are very comfortable
quartered, and my company conducting
themselves like gentlemen I have not yet
any difficulty with one of them in any shape,
whatever, they are also in fine spirits, and very
agreeable among themselves.

John Vandiver says all his people are well
write them soon.

I cannot send you any news this time as
I have not had a moment to spare since I
reached here, and must close this before I am
half done as my company is to parade in ten
minutes.

Kiss our dear little Maaggie for me and
believe me your ever affectionate

William
