more Rain yesterday which mad Ever thing

once more no new worth your attention more
than common for we are stuck on this Is land and
we see no body and no body sees us &c I thought

bad yesterday but I feel tolerable well to day tell
the Boys to look out for the draft or they will
be caught they is so much fuss hear un till I can

Clary is in a fit about Lewis is not being in [1]
a company & I received your letter day befor yesterdy

necessary for so I will close by saying you must

If Some of our Offercers dont look
soon they will be drumbed out of our
company that is if it leis in our powers
to do it &c although you need not think [hard?]
of me for saying you can think the more
To leave my native Country a ---
And into a nother to Roam
In arms to stand Gard brave
To fight for Freedom and home
And Freedom that caused me to leave home
Oh Freedom I will mantain
or I will dei Killing Old abe Lincolns men
If it is the southern soil the Yankees Gain
I will Remain your loving Brother
until Death
