User-Contributed Transcription to see him yet. I saw a Chicago Tribune of the 17th with an account of Mr. Patterson's speech in the 1st Baptist Church. He seems to think the poor soldiers in the field have quite a rough time according to the papers. I have written these few lines only to let you know that I have received the box, and letters, and will write more at length in a day or two. Mother may content herself that their is no fear of a battle here for some time. She would think we had made our quarters for the war if she were here and saw our rude shanties, dinner tables [etc symbol] made by tearing down rebels' houses and barns. Remember me kindly to allYour Affectionate SonJno. C. FlemingWrote to Sarah last MondayAll of your friends are wellJ.C.F.
