supperand put up things and it is night. George Bradley is quite<br />
sick with fever. We have done all we can for him and shall<br />
continue to do so. I have taken quite a likeing to him and it is a<br />
pleasure to try to make him comfortable. Samuel is sleeping<br />
quietly this evening, but he<br />
4. is very much out of health and the medi cine he is taking is not<br />
anything to the case. I shall finish this in the morning if there is<br />
nothing to prevent. Please overlook all bad spe lling and words left<br />
our in this and all other letters. Good Night. Friday Morning It is a<br />
rainy unpleasant morning. I do not see any particular change in any<br />
of the boys unless it is Henry. He seems to feel usually does in the<br />
morning.<br />
I will give you a list of fare for two or three days not because I<br />
think it hard but the opposite. Jan 18 th for breakfast, beans and<br />
fresh bread. Dinner beans and sausages and bread. Supper pudding<br />
and apple sauce. 14 pork, rice for breakfast . Dinner hash made of<br />
discarded potatoe. The potatoe looks like meal before it is cooked.<br />
Is very good when it is fried brown. Puding for supper. 16 The<br />
same as the other days except hash. We have had rice for supper<br />
every night but one since we got settled here. We our coffee for<br />
meal and buy cakes and cheese and occasion- ally a pie and some<br />
apples. Those things that mother sent came in the best time<br />
possible. The apples have done us a lot of good. WE cook a dish<br />
for supper every night and it is first rate. I have been on guard<br />
today and the guard are all nearly releaved on account of cold or<br />
marching orders. It is eleven oclock every thing is ready for a start<br />
at short notice. Frank is sick tonight. The boys are about as usual. I<br />
got two letters this evening and marked the 8 of Nov the<br />
top of first page other Jan 12. I expected to have sent this today but<br />
missed it. Shall write more in the morning if I can, if not shel send<br />
as it is. Good Night. May God bless you all. <strong>Titus</strong> <strong>Moss</strong><br />
