Mitchellsville, Tenn., Jany. 10th 1862[3]<\/p>\n

My dear Wife<\/p>\n

An opportunity offers to get a letter mailed at Louisville, & with the hope of letting you hear from me I eagerly embrace it.<\/p>\n

Unable to bear the suspense any longer, I telegraphed yesterday from Fountain Head & this morning am awaiting your reply. Lieut. Smith remains there to bring up your answer to-day.<\/p>\n

My health is as good as ever; in fact, I do not know that I ever enjoyed better health. We are still at Mitchellsville with excellent accommodations. E. H. Kenyon & Josiah Wood were buried yesterday. A. S. Bradford & John B. Lucas, all of our company, died in Bowling Green a few days ago. ((Andrew J. Bradford, a 28-year-old Pontiac merchant, was mustered into service Sept. 8, 1862, as 1st sergeant of Company A, 129th Illinois Infantry. He died of chronic diarrhea on Jan. 2, 1863, in Hospital No. 4 at Bowling Green, Ky. John B. Lucas, a 20-year-old farmer, was mustered into service Sept. 8, 1862, as a private in Company A, 129th Illinois Infantry. Private Lucas died Jan. 2, 1862, of consumption in Hospital No. 4 at Bowling Green, Ky. Compiled Service Records of Union Soldiers, NA.))<\/p>\n

Hoping soon to hear from you, I remain, in haste,<\/p>\n

Your affect. Husband
