 Description: Ere this reaches you, the telegraph will have informed you of the great battle of the 17 th , at Sharpsburg and you will be painfully anxious to learn the fate of your Charlie. Through the mercy of the"God of battles," as heretofore, I came through perfectly safe. To your prayers, precious one, I owe my safety. Day before yesterday, I recieved two letters from you, dated Aug 31 st & Sept. 8 th and Sept. 10 th , one enclosing a note from Dora, and I need not tell you that they were recieved with pleasure, for you already know how I prize your letters. But I owe you an explanation for not writing oftener than I have for the past month, and will give it now. If you have recieved the letters I wrote from near Georgetown and near Rockville, you will have seen why I did not write while on the Rappahannock. The day I wrote you last. we marched some eight miles, and with the exception of two days when it rained. (and we had no shelter.) have been marching or doing some duty equally laborious, thus putting it completely beyond any power to write— part of the time, even in my diary.
