Pvt. Henry Brown, Ward 5, N0. 16
Satterlee U.S.A. General Hospital,
West Philadelphia, PA June 5, 1864

 

Mr. Benjamin F. Brown

Dear Sir,

At the request of your son, Henry I write you from this place.   He arrived here on the 29th at the same time as myself.  He was quite ill from sickness and has continued to grow weaker each day since.

He has delayed informing you of his illness until this time, hoping to be able to write for himself.  He is quite ill, and he would be gratified could he see you here, although he fears it will be too far for you to come.  If you will permit me to express an opinion, I should think it would be quite proper to see him as soon as possible, as he is very ill indeed!

You will find him at the above place.  Henry wishes his love sent to you all.

Respectfully yours,

Hatfield Clark

Cpl, Co. A, 5th N. J. Vols.
