Andrew Ferdon Letter, December 3, 1862

A letter from A. E. Ferdon to his sister Mary. Ferdon tells his siter that his hip and back are improving, and that otherwise his health is good, but that he wishes he could return home to recover there. Ferdon then asks his sister (and the rest of his family) to send him a box of food if they are able, giving specific instruction as to how to make the box, and what food he wants.
