My dear Mother
- I shall to to
Florida in a brig with a few officers &
about - 100 recruits the last of this week.
When I was first ordered to report
to Co. Cutter I supposed I should be
employed on recruiting service, but
I find no such good luck for me.
I am staying at the Astor House
with Horatio; and I am going to see
the charming Miss Tree to-night - so having
told you all about myself I must
conclude with giving my love to Frances
Josepha & William.
Your affectionate Son
D.E. Hale
