This writing above in these lines I note that just
to try to pass off the time there is nothing here
that I can a muse my self at only just
to sit a bout and study and contemplate
on which I have seen back there and think
that I dont know what day I may be called
a way to face the foes that I came here to
meet thoe I feel in hopes that God will
be with us in all our conflicts tell John
if he pleases to keep my gun in good
order if he can I will probly give you
more satisfaction in the net next letter
that I rite so I shall come to a close
by assigning my name as your sincere Broth
