Montgomery June 27th 1861
Dear Mary
For the first time I write you. this leaves
me in good health & hope it to finds you & my children
with all my friends & relatives well.
I am well pleased so far; our fair is good, such
as cake, bacon, Sugar, salt, coffee, rice & corn bread.
Some of the boys are a little sick, though
not dangerous. We drill 4 hours a day & have
the rist for fun. We have no idea when
we will leave here. There is over a Thousand
men here now & are coming in every
day & leaving for Virginia.
I am in a mess with all our home boys &
all get along well.
Write as soon as possible remember me
to my children & my love to your self
Good bye
Asa T.
