Full Text	Fort Jefferson, Fla., Apr 30th 62 Dear Wife The Mail leaves tomorrow & I commence a line informing you that I am very well going flesh and in better sprits than I was three or four weeks ago. It is boiling hot here today we went out at 9 o'clock for Inspection & Muster for pay stood in line 2 1/4 hours under the sun of the Tropics, if we had worn our Knapsacks it would have been a hard one with our woolen shirts & thick Coats. It is thought doubtfull if Liet Williams' resignation will be accepted he is very ancious to leave I think; & expected to have been away before this; there is a good deal of Bugling going on if he leaves the Co are going in for me for his place but I done think they can make it work for Soldiers are not supposed to have any minds of their own.
