Full Text	Fort Jefferson June 1st 62 Dear Wife & Children it is Sunday Morning we have just come in from Inspection & it is very hot the Boys were streaming with Sweat. I am better than when I wrote last. There the Col & Staff has just passed through the quarters & the wind tipped over my Ink Bottle & spilled the whole on my Rubber Blanket which I use for a table-cloth. I dont know as I can write much as each day is about a pattern of the next all nearly alike & no news except a rumor that No Carolina has returned to the Union if true you will have known it for a long time. It is uncertain when a Mail will leave here; we expect one the middle of the week. Williams is as tickled as a Boy at the prospect of going home, it will take him down a peg if he is disapionted this time. the Regt is in better health than at any time since we arrived a good many have the Rheumatism some have the sore throat
