Anniversary of the day I received my wound in the battle of the Wilderness. Times have altered much since, the war over, one year ago it seems all dark now our cause has finally triumphed and our country safe. A very beautiful warm, had a very pleasant ramble in the bright green woods where nature points everywhere to nature’s god and his omnipotence. Received two good letters, one from dear Murkin and one from her whom I love, Best of all worlds. No letters written, feel very well.
