Today is sunday so I am at leisure to write again, yesterday I come in from a 3
day picket. I found that there was 2 papers here for me & a good large box
it come all safe, right side up, the pies & cakes & were thing kept well
only chickens had just begun to mildew a little
on the out side but not to hurt them it has been pretty hot weather for the last
week, for winter weather, the brown bread was what I wanted but forget to send
for it, the hatchet & spides are just the sort so was the coffe pail
& sugar, my health continues good & I hoop this will
find you
all as well Ira & swift are well also, you asked if I saw those men executed, I did, there was a division []
expressly for that occasion. There is a great many stories now about the rebels
coming into our lines & fighting among themselves & some of the stories
are tene I guess, I dont think of much more to write now it has been so
short time since I wrote I hope you are all my [] yourselves wel for I
am.
Yours, TrulyBradford, P. Sparrow
