Dearest Allie,
I gave a long letter to mail, and a moment more I will add just a word.
We marched 15 miles yesterday to join the force, near “Snickers Gap”. A movement is going on, and I cannot tell the nature. You must watch the papers. You will hear as often as possible.
I send flowers grass etc. gathered in a garden a moment ago
Am well in [and] in excellent spirits.
Adieu
Your
Jerome
Sunday night.
My very dear Nellie,
Hattie said you had not heard from Alonzo very recently so I s[h]all send you Jerome’s last letters. The[y] does [sic] not speak of A. You will see by them that there are in great commosion [sic: commotion]. Aunt Martha misunderstand[s] my meaning about coming to Boston. I shall come down some time after Thanksgiven [sic], but cannot say when[.] I do want to see you Oh! so much. Write me soon and I will write you a longer letter, but thought I could send you Jerome’s letter better than I could write what was in them. If you have from A—let me know. I have not time to say more. We are as well as usual.
From your Affectionate
Allie
Give them to Ab[b]y when you are through with them.
