Louisville Nov 20th
as I have a few moments to write and send it with Mr. Hover I will tell you what I have to. Mr. Hover brought me two shirts and I found a letter in the pocket. you said you sent me a vest but I haven’t seen it. mabe it will come but I think it doutful if I get it for we are going to make the boat this afternoon for memphis we have got every thing up side down trying to get ready for a start it has rained about two days and just cleared of about the furst we have. you did not say anything about getting my letters I have wrote 4 letters and got one from you with the shirts the only one I have got since I was at the Hospital we had 85 miles March last week from Nicholsville to Louisville now we are going to Memphis so they say but there is no knowing. Mr. Hover came to camp today and is going back to night and the male has gone out for day so this is my only chance they are packing up so I shall have to stop write and direct to Louisville on the march I will write as soon as I land Lu.
