Eve I am a soldier both of the war and of the cross Remember Eve if we serve god right we shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. So let us live right and meet in heaven if we should not meet on earth. Eve I long to see you and all of your family indeed I do I wanted to come to see you before I went to war but the company started off to[o] soon for me to come now I will tell you that I am in the Palestine Company John Milton Asdel & James Milton Kenney & James Asdel & Andrew M.
