Dear Brother Washington

place in her letter – which I gladly ac-
cept. When you read this and find me still
in Florida you will perhaps think we
have come here for certain. Your brother

ed to have set out for the city tomorrow
but as he has to return to the line again
upon the fifth to be absent three weeks
longer I have concluded to stay in the
country that length of time — I wish most
sincerly you would write me a good long
letter this week — Your pa
