I received your kind letter dated the 7th. day before yesterday which makes
the third since I came here.
My health is very poor indeed as I have been confined to my
bunk about ever since I have been in this place.
If I only had something nourishing to strengthen me I
think I should get along pretty fast, as ^I^ am
feeling a great deal better, but am very weak.
We have not been paid off yet but expect the Paymaster
along by the first of next week.
I wish you would send me some postage stamps and some newspapers when
you can conveiniently.
You need not expect me home on a furlough as I think it is
an imposibility of my getting one.
Hopeing you will write as quick as this comes to hand
I remain
Your husband
John Mc. Coy.
