Sharpsburg Md June 22/63

Dear Sister,

I take the present opportunity of dropping you a few lines to inform you that I (_?_) trust that you all may be the same. I have been trying to get some Cotton and Calico or something to send to you all but everything can not be got at as Mr. Marker will tell you. The coat and blanket I sent home wash and put away. I would like Joseph to send me some socks when Mr. Marker comes down again. He is going to make me a little box and bring down (_?_) you to send me something to eat that is nice. If Mr. Marker wants some of my brace bits let him have these to make that box. Tell mother to send me some home made sugar. I reckon Mary is satisfied about the Yanks leaving town. We took them out of there by suprise. In haste my love to all. Write soon.

I will write some more. We are expecting to move further on in Maryland and are cooking two days rations. I think we will clean the Yankees out this summer and whip them into secession. Some of our Army is in Pennsylvania and about 700 have joined our Army and we have taken about 1300 militia.
