Kinde Father:-

This morning I again take the Liberty of informing you that we are laying in Winter Quarters at this present time.

I am well. Hoping that these few imperfect lines may find you and step-mother, brothers and sisters all enjoying good health and happiness and content.

I must still say that I am contented and satisfied feeling that I am doing my Master's Will. Although I have a great many hardships to endure where people at home know nothing about. I am satisfied to bear these things for Jesus Sake and for the Freedom of Our Country-which I believe is not great distance in the future.

O Lord, hasten the time that wars may be done away and Peace in Our Lord prevail again.

Franklin Rosenbery
