Abby I left Ithaca Monday morning at 8 o'clock and got to Oswego at about half past eleven and staid there until twenty two minutes past twelve and then took the York and Erie train for New York and arrived there at about 20 minutes of eleven and then we went to battery barracks castle garden and staid until one o'clock yesterday afternoon and took the boat for south amboy and then took the cars for Camden NJ opposite of Philadelphia and took the big ferry boat for Phila and landed at walnut st wharf at the foot of walnut st between eleven and twelve and then took the horse cars for the hospital and arrived here a little before twelve last night and found a light in the room and two of the boys just getting ready to go to bed and the boys were all glad to see me and they were all well. On my way back from New York I came across a good many boys that I was acquainted with. Now Abby I will close and send you all my best wishes and say to you that is is a very pleasant morning no more at present.
