[letter of Hiram Cash of the 7th of April continues]
April 8. It has been a hard snow storm here since last night
and the men in camp had a hard time to keep warm I was
not relieved this morning and was very glad of it for I have
good quarters and enough to eat I think I shall stop here
untill the regt. leaves. Last night this slaves husband came
home to see his wife he run away from his master and is
free he now works for the Q.M. department for $26.00 per
month, I tell you it was an affectin scene when they
met. I have but a little time to write so I must be
short
