Dr. Madam & Sister,
Enclosed find five dollars sent me by your husband to pay
expenses on securing accommodations for his chaplaincy and having it
acknowledged &c. &c.
The expense was nothing to speak of and the trouble was
freely taken – so I remit to you.
He spoke also of sending you groceries for the amt. In case
there was no expense but in inquiring I learn that there is really no
difference in the price of those articles worthy of [matter] between this place
and the smaller towns around.
So here is it is.
My love to your little girl whom I met when her father was
in camp here.
Faithfully yrs,
Geo. W. Brindle
