Newport News V.A. Feb 8^th, 1864

Dear Sister

I received your letter yesterday and was glad to hear from you once more but am sorry to hear that Mother is still sick though I hope she is a good deal better now.

My health is very good now and I have reenlisted for the term of three years longer unless sooner discharged and expect to start for home tomorrow or next day and I shall make my appearance before you at no distant day and then I will give you my reasons for the course I have taken till then good bye

Please give my love to Father and Mother and Brothers and receive a large share yourself.

Please excuse haste and tell Mother she must make haste and get well by the time I get home but I must close hoping this will find you all much better I remain your affectionate Brother

G. W. Gould
