to help you along as I know you Pa and John
will do all that layes in your power for her. I hope
he gites the money as I know you will receive it
from one who is far far away from those that
he holds dear to him. I would send you some
money if you had onely told me how things stud
in regards to Anna Louisa wedding, but I have lent
$20.00 of my money this pay which makes me come short,
but as soon as I receive my pay (which will be in a
short time as we will git mustered for it on the 1st
of March) if you want some I will send it to you then

the necessity of repairing the works.  Accept this with the
best wishes of the members of Co. D 62nd N. Y. S. V.
The watch has got my name ingraved on it it is a Silver -
one and is a very nice got out.  I will send the paper to
John as I think it will go safer to him than to you.
I think as much of the paper as I do of the watch
and if eny thing a little more. Most all the Co. names
is on it that why I prise it so much fer the Capt.
Subscribed fer it as well as every man in the Co. but why
