I hade a letter from poor Will McIvor from France poor boy wishes him self home he says he seen some dreadful sights, I also hade such a nice letter from a stanger in France he acting as chaplain for the poor soldier its theire that he met poor Willie McIvor he syned his name as John MacNeill (Capt). I thought it was so kinde of him things about the same hear very dull now dear Mrs Mayse hoping to hear good news from you soon Maggie joins in kindest love to you & dear little ones.
