Dear Brother and Sister { Comp C. 9 Regt. Miss. Volunteers
I
Take my seat this mornin in answer
to your last one my health is onley
Tolerable good at the presen time but
I hope thos few lines may fine you
injoying good health when you
read them think of you Brothers
one in the armey in delicate health
I have been taken Medicens for four
days I have not taken any this morning
I feel a greal better this morning than
I felt yesturday & as for Brother Newton
I cannot tell you any thing about him
at all I have wrote to him Twice since I
have been in the armey and have not Recd
any answer from him yet and I am to
believe that they have been some misfortune
befallen him in some way I wrote to
you to know if you knew any thing
about him. I have allso wrote to sister
Mary to here what she had to say about him
she said that she knew nothing about him
that she had not got a letter from him in
Over six months. and that sorter scares
me a little I have thaught that I would
[page 2]
go their to see something about him
whar he is or if he is dead or what he is about
that he do not write to any of us
I will draw to a clos by asking you to
write soon and often
Fare the well for the present
I remain your friend
unto death
Amzi Harris
to Rbt C. C. & Marggt. C.
