Letter of Captain Elisha Hammer, Co. G 7th Iowa Cavalry, to his brother, Henry Hammer, July 17, 1864

Topeka Kansas
July 17th 1864
3 o clock P. M

Dear Brother

Enos is about the same as he was when I last wrote. I do not think there is much hope of his recovery still he may. He has every attention that he could have at any place if he should get well I will send him home as soon as he is able to travel.  I have nothing of importance to write
