I hope these will finde you all well. I am lame but not so but what I can get abought quite comfortble. I think I will get along so I can doo duty before long. I have not dun nothing for 2 weekes. Samuel was beared on the other side of the river with all his close on. I donte no whare the reste of his things is but I will finde out if I can. I should think the dockter would no abought them. I will see him there was (a) board marked and Sat at his head. Abreham Meiller berred him. he tolde me where he was but I sepose the rebs would fire on enney one if they should cross thare with out a flag of truse from the general but that could bee got. I think I have gave up loocking for Abe Gore to come.
I just (got) 2 letters to day. I had the other side of this rote before I got `them. I got some stamps and envellups and paper. they will Come good. I saw 2 stamps solde for 10 cts to day. that is to much these harde times. Sam had got enney pay for six months. I donte no whether his things can be found or not. I will finde out if I can but I donte think thare would bee enney truble in finding his grave for we could (get) Meiller to go with us. he berried him he would bet very apt to no whare it was. I thirik they will take them on the cars for there ben some tuck from here that has dide here in the redgment. they is a quite a large bering ground here. I am glad I hante one of them. no more at present
yourse, Silas Gore
