We came tot he camp that evening both a little sick, a change of diet did not agree with us. We eat a little too strong. Gingles has a trunk I want, it is as large again as mine and very strong. He has lost the key. I think I will send over and swap for it as mine is entirely to small. Duncan is gone out to Gingles today. Duncan has a cold and has done no duty this week. Hays is unwell and does no duty. Brooks is sick the most of the time but still helps all he can. He is in Command today. William is able for duty but still has a bad cough. John Ray keeps stout. Rhodes is complaining most of the time of his back. Achsah, we have got Arms for most of our men who are well. Each company has drawn 30 good muskets that was taken at Manassas. All of this army is now pretty well armed and they are getting guns every day. We are expecting every day to move out from here. Our orders are to be ready at a moments warning. We don't know where. We think to Reinforce Hindman. He is said to be falling back before 35,000 Yankees in the norther part of the state. I think a part of this army will be kept here to keep the Army at Helena Back. The rest of us go to help Hindman. The weather is clear and cold. a fine time on us so far. Achsah, I have not hear from you since the 18th October, nearly one month. I am berry anxious to hear. Do write often. Your husband untill Death and may God Bless and Protect you all is my prayer.
H. A. Wallace
