Just arrived at Head Quarters on Friday evening, all well but tired of traveling. “Did not see Aunt Sue for it was too late when I got to Reading that night to go there” He did not get to see his little Amelia for she had not got home when he got there. Everything is full of ice and sleet. He rode 20 miles in the dark and let the horse pick his own way. Thinks that all the regiment will not get home together. The crowd in the room where he is writing are singing and making comic speeches. Will let her know as soon as possible where he goes. Write as soon as you can direct to Hazelton, Carbon Co. Pa. Your boy Joe. [envelope with stamp and red and blue flag is cancelled Hazleton PA Feb. 1 addressed to Mr. William Richardson Beverly Burlington Co. New Jersey, faded ink]
