Norway Hook Dec 11th 1861
Dear Mother
Here I am away up in the North Woods 40 miles from any place at all. Left
Utica yesterday at half past ten and went to Herkimer and then started for
Norway on foot, which is about 18 miles. Harington myself and two others
came all the way on foot and ten or twelve more on the Stage. The reason
that we left Utica was becaus the landlord got drunk and abused us so that
we could not stand it any longer. We are going into the woods next week to
stay all the week shall go in about 30 miles for the purpose of hunting
deer if I am lucky enough to kill one I will send you a quarter for
Christmas dinner. I have nothing more to say at present. You had not better
write until you hear from again.
Your Aff Son
