Rolla, Missouri, August 21st 1864 Colonel John M. Snyder Dear Sir - I have thus far managed to get along first-rate, and have to thank you for the kind interest manifested in my behalf. Rolla is a miserable hole, and I don't think the authorities could have planted us in a worse place, with, perhaps, the exception of that location where dealers in coal have no occasion to pursue their interesting vocation. The health of the Regiment has been very bad - we have lost several by disease. Newton and George Rutledge, however, are as hearty as a couple of bucks, and send their respects and regards to you. The men of the 145th have been greatly disappointed in Colonel Lackey - in <hr /> what manner I leave you to surmise. You know that an humble subaltern would be very imprudent to criticise his Colonel too closely. If you see Mackenzie I wish you would tell him, for me, that this hundred day trip would have been a "bully trip" for him. He'd have learned something else besides making money. One thing more, I want to bore you again by asking you as a special favor to request the Governor and Gen. Fuller to grant me permission to raise a company for special State service. I am confident I can raise a full one, composed of good men. I wish you would send me such written authority at your earliest convenience and I will go to work. Hoping that this will be my last <hr /> round in Missouri, I subscribe myself Yours truly J. M. Prior P.S.
