Day 45: 3 Months March 10, 1862

I finally received a letter from the boys the other day and things to keep taking a turn.
Dear Family,
Sorry we havent written back in a couple of months, the camp has been puttin us back to good conditions and we have just been busy and the boys and I havent been able to sit down and write a letter. Everythin is doing alright, but all the boys agree that they miss home and that they wished the holidays didnt end. We love you Momma and Poppa and we are so glad we were able to come home and see you guys. Some of the Generals say that we can come home permanetly in a couple of months. Most likely sometime in June or July as long as nothing bad goes bad and something comes up. General said that they are gonna go out and collect new people to train and such, weve been here long enough. They are recruiting us out to Tennessee so we will not be able to write for awhile. So that means Beth, do not respond to this because we will not get it. I hope everythin is well back home, its almost time to start the tobacco plantin right? well good luck wish we could help. Hope everythin is doing alright, love you all.
Nelson

It makes me sad that I can not respond back, but its good that I have finally heard from them.
