Thanks him for his letter and comments that he doesn't always receive them. Says that the railroad has been very bad lately and that they cannot receive any mail from them. Reports that he cannot go into town unless he takes a guard with him and that there is a 12 foot fence around the camp. Says that if he doesn't stop writing now he will miss roll call and will be sent to the guard house. Letter is damaged causing minor text loss. Envelope is addressed to John Reeser; however, as the letter is addressed to a "Mate," it is possible that the envelope does not belong to this letter. Letter dated 28 March but no year listed.
