It is with greatest pleasure I dip my hastey pen to inform you that I am still alive and remain unhurt and [can?] say that I am in tolerably good health and I hope this may find you in good health. Well Sister I thank God for my narrow escape. It almost makes me shudder when ever I think of it but I came out better than I thought I would with out being wounded or killed. Providence provided for me I [k]now. Well sister it is a warning for all. I takeet as won eny how. Well Sister we hav fallin back to our breast works. Our division has to rest. I expect that we will go to Petersburg for it is thought that Mcllon will try to come up that way but he will hav to work over meny a Georgian first and that he never has don. He [has?] received reinforcements from Shields. One hundred thousand [?] but that is nothing. He had 3 hundred thousand before he was whip [hear?] and I think that he must have lost 2 thirds of his army for we slaughtered them like [?]. The hold peninsula is full of ded yankes below hear. Well Sister I will close as it is dark. Giv my love to all of my inquiring friends. I hope John will soon be well. Tell him to get well [?] before he goes in to camps [?]. Write soon.
                                                                                                                                                   James T Binion
