I was sorry to hear that you sere so unwell, but I hope you will be better soon. I am happy to say that I am well and enjoying good health. I went to see the Captain about the certificate, and he said that he had sent a list of all in his company to Trenton, and that a committee would be appointed to wait on all, as their places of residence was designated on the list, and pay them the money, and no certificate would be required. So I suppose you will soon get it, as we are a State regiment now, and entitled to all the benefits as such. Last Sunday we hadan exciting time here. The 66th Pennsylvania raised a mutiny, and our regiment was called out to put it down. However, it was put down without our firing a shot, and the greater part of the mutinous regiment marched off to Washington, where they were sent to other Pennsylvania regiments. I am much obliged to you for you kind advice, and I will try to follow it. No more at present.From your affectionate Son, Benjamin F. PineCamp Clay, Mar. 5, 1862My Dear Sister, I received your letter enclosed with Mother\'s, and was glad to hear from you. I am well at present and hope these few lines will find you the same.
