[letter of Hiram M. Cash of the 5th Maine continues]
April 13th Last night about 6 oclock the train came along
and about 10 oclock last night we started for Alexandria
where we arrived this morning about sunrise and the
hospital steward told us to come to camp Franklin
and stop untill[sic] the Regt. comes up then we shall all
go down the river to join Gen. McClellan's army I do
not know as you got my last letter but I think I
shall send $5.00 in this letter and you will know how
to proceed to get the $16.00 at the city treasurers of Portland
as you did the last payment. I want to hear how you
are getting along I have been looking for a letter for a day
or two past and I hope to get one to night if I do I will
write some more.
[letter will continue on the 14th]
