Dear son,
I suppose you would be happy to hear that the union has finally fired McClellan. We have hired general Grant. I am so happy because we have started getting more wins. The war is going great this at this time other than enlistments are down. I love you and the family so much and am so excited to see you. You have my love.
Sincerely, Alfred A Scales
