No. Two Milligan’s Bend Mar 15th
Dear Friends:
This Holy Sabbath finds me in camp 25 miles up the River from where we have been camped the last 7 weeks. Mr. Gary will start for home in a day or two and I will send a few lines by him. Mr. Flagg will not go as soon. I have not much to write but when they get home they can tell you all about it. I do not feel very well to day for a Birthday. my face is swelled and the Doc says it is the mumps but I thought I had them once. Mr. Flagg has come and says he thinks he will go home with Mr Gary and I dont know which will bring the letter but I have sent to you $5 Dollars by Mr. Flagg. We have drawn two months pay.. and I sent one pair of mittens one pair of gloves and one pair of socks. he could not cary the Shirt back very well that you sent by him and I was not in want of it and philander Kelsey wanted it and I let him have it for $1.25cts and you take it out of the money I send by Flagg and all the other expences. I think my face will get well after while I am pretty well other ways. I have not much to writ. Mr. Flagg will tell more than I. ð 7 3
