   Dear Wife and Family,

   I seat myself this morning to write you a few lines (which) leaves (me) with a bad headache and bad cold.  I was very sorry to hear that you was so bad off and I could not be with you to comfort you in your affliction but I am in hopes that the Lord will bless you in your affliction and, if it is His will, to raise you to health again.  I received Brother Hendrix's letter with Dr. Peacock's note requesting me to get a furlough and come home a few days.  I got them Thursday morning and applied immediately for a furlough but it has not come back from Mobile and if it don't come this evening I will try to get a forty-eight hour permit tonight.  I looked for my furlough tonight but it did not come.  

   Yours As Ever Until Death
                                   
   John C. Harrison
