In Camp Apr 26, 1862 Dear Wife & Children[,] No news at all. we are in a clean healthy camp in the advance. our boys are improving & I feel better myself You must write often & direct as heretofore via Louiville, K.Y. I shall send 200$ to RedWing by Express within a few days. Use it carefully but make things neat & comfortable. Leave Clay alone until I see him. I have been writing quite often of late do you get my letters? I have yours of the 7th & 8th Inst. Eda is improving in her writing You must be careful of her cough Col Wilkins [Wilkin] (S,E, Majir) [Seargent Major] is quite unwell. Capt [Judson] Bishop is my acting Magir [Major] Whenever I get news I will write it. Write often & tell me all the news Yours truly J. George
