The letter mentions his hospital stay and very light duty of sweeping out the quarters. He also mentions money matters and thieves. Writes that he is expecting to be going to Long Island for guard duty. Another letter dated Dec.12, 1863 was written by Major Phinney of Co.A- 8th Me. to a friend ,Charles Macomber, of Jay, Maine.
