Thursday, Sept. 1st 1864
Dear Mary

The telegraph has just announced the nomination of Geo. B. McClellan by the Chicago Convention for President but lacks confirmation. We have no news from the Army yet. The mail came in about an hour ago but brought no letter for me. I still hope “All is well.”

Chris [Yetter] is trying hard to have the ague again to-day & I think he will succeed. He accepts the issue very resignedly, and is hurrying Green [a black mess cook] up with dinner, so that he can eat a good mess of green beans and new potatoes before the “Shake” comes on.

We are all well. The weather is very beautiful. May our Father in Heaven bless You.

Your affect. Husband
J. F. Culver
