Case, 21 March 1862 & 28 March 1862  | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | Imagine, if you can my joyful surprise, on arriving in from Strasburg, Pa- was
the fact of my having four letters. "In luck", said I upon opening them I found three
good long letters from Addie two notes from Laurie and one good letter from
Gail. "It never rains, but pours" is an old adage, and if true, I may expect some
other good fortune soon, I am at a loss to know how
to answer your triple favor, and my perplexity increases when I note the
multitudinous(horrors! what a long word!)subjects to write about. I guess I will confine myself to writing that which contains no public interest reserving that for the "Chron". Firstly the
"grand move" is much followed up, and is nearly at a "level", and
notwithstanding the 7th was included, we are all safe. My
health is excel lent and trust it will continue so. Gen.
Shields with his entire command moved on the 18th toward Strasburg. Ha ha! Aint
I fortunate? Moore just came in with the mail, and two more letters came for
"Chas N. Tenney."/ from the other from N.
