                    <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;Plymouth, N.C. March 16, 1864 My Dear Carrie: As there is a mail going out this evening, I will write you a line. I have not had a letter from you since I wrote last. Our Regiment has not yet returned; it is still at Roanoke Island, but will be here sometime this week. We woke up this morning to find the ground Covered with snow. This was quite a surprise, after the warm weather we have had for some time. I think was disastrous to the fruit trees, as they are now in full bloom. The snow has all disappeared, but the air is quite Cold. I received a paper (The New South) from Clem. this morning, in which I notice that he has been the recipient of Sword, Sash &amp;amp; Bel[t], presented to him by his Company. I[t] appears that he is very highly esteemed by his company. I know nothing definite yet, as to what time we will get home, but, think&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;it highly probable that we will not get to leave here during this month. We must wait for Orders, from the “Powers that be.” We are all anxious to get started, but, we have no control over the matter. I believe Gen. Peck (Major General John J. Peck) still anticipates an attack from the rebels somewhere in this Department. My own opinion is, that they are not going to undertake anything so foolish. I [sic] health continues very good. Let. Helm (Lieutenant John B. Helm) is having a time with the ague. He had a “shake” yesterday and has another to day. I have not had one since the first of December. Kiss Annie &amp;amp; Harry for me. With my love to you all I am Your Affectionate Husband I. Conley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
