Camp Toledo Sept 7/62
Dear father mother
I am pretty well and so are all of the boys We are under marching orders to morrow at 5 oclock it may be countermanded our Colonels name is Groom [i.e., Col. John C. Groom, 100th Ohio Infantry] from Franklin County he appears to be a verry good man The boys are getting a little out with our Lieutenant Palmer [i.e., 1st Lt. John H. Palmer, Co. H, 100th Ohio Infantry] We have got our uniforms in full we had to pay for our caps they were bought down town Now about that money the Losure [i.e., 2nd Lt. Emmett Losure, Co. H, 100th Ohio Infantry] wanted to borrow it and so I let him have it you will have to get along without it for a while when he is payd off the officers did not receive their pay November is the time of payment I do not know but it is

disapointment to you but he had got to pay for his uniform and I thought I would accommidate him as long as I could I expect we shall go into Kentucky from here Elias has got his discharge and so has Stephen Kellogg and so has Meriett Losure they have all been here we are haveing a pretty good time of it I have not stood guard yet it will be a joke the story is around that the Ajutant General Hill is going to be here to day it may be so I dont hardly believe it I cannot think of any more to write so good by for this time and with my best wishes
