Dear Mother

I have got just about three minutes to spare & I will write a few lines and wait for a better chance. I have been very bussy for the last two days issuing Clothing to the regiment and I am all in a fog. Foote has to issue to the regimental qtrMaster and he is about as badly fogged as I am but I guess I will come out right in a day or two. There is not much news here only we have had a little skirmishing for a few days back but it has not amounted to much. I got your letter of the 25th last night. I can't write any more now. We are all right here and hope to continue so Remember me to all.

Your Affectionate Son
CJ Hardaway

I will write more in a few days
Please send me some stamps I am out
