 Description: How much longer must I endure this dread- ful suspense. Almost three weeks have passed since I last received one of thy darling missives, Papa brought one home last night, from you for Hal. and you need not think but that I opened it. I should not have done it so but I wished so much to know how and where you was. It was written the 27th of Oct. and directed to Camp Cleveland. J. P. Hurlburt took it from the office with the intention of bring- ing it to Mecca (He thought Hal was at home) but papa took it and brought it to me. I will send it to Hal immediately. As there is a very important question in it to which you ought to have received an answer long ago. You will forgive me for opening it will you not dear?

 Description: I owe you more than a simple apology for neglecting to write the sweetest being God ever made (I am not flattering, my heart tells me so) but perhaps your throne of beauty "may be a throne of mercy and its occupant may perchaner be lenient toward an humble subjects and forgive me for this time. Shall I act the stately and say, "Forgive me, my Case, and hereafter I will be"?

 Description: Here we are, right in sight of loyalOhio but refusinged the priviliege of entering within its borders, the authorities preferring that we should remain on the “sacred soil of Virginia.” But we are not long to have the privilege even of looking at the Ohio Shore, for at four P.M. we take the R. R. for Grafton. From thence I suppose we go to the end of the world,— Romney. Well, as I am denied the happiness of seeing my Addie. I will resort to the only feasible expedient, that of conversation on paper.

 Description: Lest you toss all knowledge of our whereabouts, I again send you a few lines. We are well and in good spirits, but as yet uncertain as to where we shall be sent. We are now under Brig. Gen. Kelley's command and he was to come to us yester- day, but owing to illness he did not come, consequently we are now awaiting orders.

 Description: After patiently waiting for several days, I have been rewarded by the reception of a kind letter from my only correspondent, and as a matter of pleasure, rather than duty, I devote this stormy evening to answer it Capt. Wood came back yesterday, and the letter you sent by him, Hallie gave me to-day. Have I not sufficiently answered it? Dear Addie, may I not consider part thereof as though it never had been written? Now as Hallie has told me all, do not for a moment think that any such thing could make me "curse" you, or even make me think otherwise of you, dear Addie, than I always have. Only allowmeto love you, dearest. Will you not? You have doubtless recieved one or two letters since you wrote the letter now before me. I shall have little rest until I recieve a reply.

 Description: Your darling letter was received today, and I improve the first opportunity to try to answer it. I say try, for I am inad- equate to the task of making my letters as interesting as yours, but if they are as productive of happenings as you persist in saying they are, why, I will give you any quantity of them. Yours, well, I can compare them to nothing but angels visits, and like them, I could wish they were more frequently received. You may imagine my joy at receiving yours today it made me happy, for it reassurred me that you love me, and you know, how that is. Do you not

 Description: I embrace the first oppertunity I have to write you to apease you of my perfect safety. You have heard of the great battle of the 9th and must be anxious to learn of my fate. I escaped without a scratch, and am grateful to God for his mercy. I knew when I wrote you last that when an engagement should seem that we should be sent to the front. but I could not tell you, for I knew you would suffer so much on my account. Now that the battle is over, the rebels in full retreat and only 104 104 men left in the noble old 7th I can tell you. Gen. Pope said he wanted Tyler's Brigade (now Geary's) in the front “to set an example to the eastern troops”and nobly has the example been set.

 Description: Your very short, but withal kind letter of Aug. 18th, I recieved yesterday, and although there is no certainty of a chance to send it, I will reply to it today. You will forgive me for writing on so poor quality of paper, when I tell you that mine is all with the company wagon, and this sheet is all I could obtain out here in the woods. You will wonder why I do not oftenerwrite to you and what can induce me to remain silent for so long a time, I wrote you a letter a few days since, but could not send it until a day before yes= terday. —In it, I gave you a very hasty sketch of what we had been doing for the two or three weeks previous, and said "when we could remain 24 hours in a place, I had much to write you. Although we have remained in our present position for nearly forty eight hours, we know not how soon we may move three, ten or twenty miles, but I will do all I can in the interim. My health (notwithstanding the constant exposure) remains in excellent condition, which I consider somewhat remarkable, as the officers who are much better cared for than the men, and very many of the men are suffering from Colds. summer complaints, &c. Perhaps it is owing to your prayers, and your wish for me to care for my health.

 Description: How do you do this beautiful morn= ing? Didn't we have a splendid view of "the Sacred soil" at sunrise? (I mean "us fellows.") How I wish you had been here for about an hour. But thenits of no use wishing, for you wouldn't come if the Rebs hadn't burned the bridges on the B. & O. R. R. above Martinsburg.

 Description: Permit me to address a few lines to you, hoping to interest you for a few moments. There, is not that in style? Now that I am to correspond with a Colonel's sister, I suppose I must "put on a little style." I - I - can't, -- dont know how. I evo-(come pretty near writing a naughty word)- rather not try, as I shall do as I see proper, unless there be certain contingencies arising. How is it? Must I?

 Description: I have had that most horrible of all diseases “Hypochondria,” and still feel a little “blue”,-- but I have no business to either. Why? Because I have just recieved your darling letter of the 12th. Now I am going by force of will, and an hours conversation with my treasure, to dispel all traces of this horrible feeling. I can do it, andIwill .

 Description: Quite a long time has elapsed since I last wrote you, and I fear you will think I am trespassing too far on your goodness and forbearance. But when I explain this unwanted silence, I think you will forgive me — at least in part. Two precious letters have been recieved from you, each of which deserves an "answer" complete in itself, byut at this time it is im- possible for one to write a very long or interesting letter.

 Description: Does my chirography look familiar to you? or has it been so long since you had the pleasure of seeing a specimen that you fail? But I have just recieved two darling letters from you dated Nov. 9th & 16th, in both of which you complain of not recieving a letter from “Charley” fortwo-three weeks. I do not wonder that you begin to feel alarmed about him, but calm your fears my love, I am neither dead nor changed, & I am enjoying better health than I have for three weeks past, and am steadily gaining, so that I think there is no immediate danger of my demise nor consignment to the Hospital.— I must apologize for not writing within the past week as I promised to do.— We have changed the Pro Marshal, and with the change came a great deal of work for “us four clerks”, and we have had to keep hard at work from dawn of day until half past ten at night. Thus you see but very little time for letter writing remained for us. Will you not pardon me under the circumstances?
