Dear Parents
                    You will probably hear
from George all the stirring news of
the day.

office the most of the time since
I came here until Thursday I was
appointed ward master of the
24th Regt. Surgeon J.C. Manson of
Pittsfield.
     Through the influence of Hiram
mostly.  The work will not be
very hard. pay $20 1/2 per month
   I shall try and get a
furlough for a few days, next week.
    You can put into that valise
things that you think will be of service.
    Please send me $10 directly
                 Your affectionate son C.P. M.
