March 6th  It looks like
rain this morning   I expect that
we shall have to spat through the
mud up to our asses.  Old Thompson
got a letter from home this morning
that said something about some
theives around south Hamilton   he
heard that they had caught one
and he turned states evidence
and brought out the rest of them
Do they have anything to say about
drafting in York state   I hear they
was going to or talked of it.  if they
do tell henry to gro young 1 year
how does the morgan grow.  I wish
I had a good dish of bread and milk
I would give more for a good dish of
bread and milk than anything else
in victual line   well I guess I
have wrote enough for this time
write as soon as you get this  write all of
the news   so good by for this time

I will send you an orang leaf
so you can see how they look   some
of the boys went over the river and
got a boat load of oringes last night
they say the oringe trees are in full
blossom and the trees hang full
of oringes   it is a beautifull sight
to go into an oring orchard.  well it
is about night and I must think
about some supper   I will fold this
up so if there is a mail steamer
comes along I can send it but if
there haint I will write some more
tomorrow   so good night and I
will send you all a good night
