Fort Pennsylvania Mch 9th 1863
Dear Mother
Your last letter was received in due season and now hasten to answer. Enclosed with it was another letter opened. I would have been much more pleased if it had not been opened. Had it been a business letter it had better have been sent to me immediately when I could have attended to it sooner than I could after it had been opened and read + then sent to me.
Everything passes off as usual about camp.
Edd Campbell is quite sick in a hospital I shall try and get him discharged if I can as he has been sick sometime and never done much duty in the Company.
Bill Warens may get a furlough by and by if can give any good reasons for going home. But I doubt it myself.
Tell Ep??? To write to me I have not heard from him since I came back here.
All Well answer as soon a convenient.
Your Son

Note: Letter from Michael Henry Barckley to his mother. Ep is probably his brother, Edward L. Barckley.
