I received your very kind letter this morning written the 14th It found me well and enjoying myself The boys are all well Our Co just came in last night after being gone for two days We went to guard a paymaster through to the 24 A C he is going to pay them off I understand that Shermans army is to be payed off and clothed and then for another moove on towards Richmond

I saw Enos a few days since he is well and is orderly servant in his Co The general opinion is that the war is about at an end and I hope it is A great many think that when the army is ready to moove it will be all over with the Confederacy I would not be supprised myself but still I hardly believe it my self Although the news in the papers is very good and encourageing Henry Ford has not got up to the 68" yet or had not a few days ago they expect him every day for recruits are comeing up to the army all of the tim 1700 just come up to the 17 AC

I hear that Sherman is to have 100,000 of this last call I hope they will come for by the time that the army starts from here our time will not be very long to serve Sherman is gone to Washington to make arrange as to his next moove I will have to close good by write soon I got 6 six stamps in this last letter
