[a post script to the letter from "Robert" to his wife written on the 14th]
Sunday Morn Oct 19th
My Dear Wife
Excuse me for not sending
this letter to you last week, I waited for
a letter from you, but did not get any untill
last night, I then received one dated Oct 12th
I dont know why it was so long in reaching
me, unless there was detention of the mail
You may be sure that I was very glad to
hear from you I thought you might be
sick, or that something was the matter,
I began to feel anxious about you,
I am on guard to-day and consequently I
shant have time to write much, We have
got fixed up in good shape for winter
quarters, Col Mulligan the hero of Lex
ington was here last week, he is a fine look
ing soldier Col Wright is nearly well
he moves from here to Fort Albany this
week,
Robert an unidentified soldier from Lynn, Massachusetts, in Co. M, 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery
MSS 1242
