Polk Hospital, Rome, GA 



Nov. 13, 1863 



Dear wife, I take the pleasant 

 opportunityto write you a few lines to let 

 you know that I am getting along 

 well at present. Hoping when this comes 

 to hand it will find you all well also. 

 The doctor told me he thought I would be 

 able to come home by next Sunday week 

 and you must come prepared to take me 

 home. You must bring one good straw bed 

 and one good feather bed and two pillows 

 so you can carry me. Be sure and bring 

 them for the doctor won't let me go 

 until you come well prepared to carry 

 me good and easy. There is no news to 

 write of importance.
