 Description: At last, I have a chance to write a few lines,with a hope that it will soon reach you. I wrote you a good long letter from Culpepper on the 18th of August, but as we left there that day, I supposed it has never been sent. On the 20th, an order was recieved from Gen. Halleck forbidding the further transmission of mails, and until now I have had no opportunity to send a line to apprise you of my safety. I know how you must suffer, and how thoughless you must think me, but all I can plead is the inexorable character of military orders. I have much to write you as soon as we can remain 24 hours in a place. Since the 18th, we have been constantly under arms and for more than 3/4 of the time under fire from the enemy, but we have not lost a man. I have kept a full journal of all our proceedings, which I shall send to the Chronicle for publication, as soon as I can.
