 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: Conflicting emotions have tossed me about, all unmindful of my poor heart, fairly disturbing my rest at night, until to day. To add to my trials, my best friend, and brother, Hal. yesterday started for home. How sad I felt! But I could not bear to pain his noble heart, so I strove to appear cheerful. I did not send even a line to you, by him , something restrained me--told me I should soon recieve a letter from you--. and I could not-- dare not write in my. (then) unhappy state of mind. True enough, when the mail arrived this morning, a letter came for Hal. My heart told me, that in that envelope was a letter for me. Lieut. Boisbine, for me, opened it and my heart was gladdened. Your letter found me well, and made me happy. I say "happy." Hope was infused into my heart, and with Hope comes Happiness.

 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: Now that you are here before me, can we not have a few moments quiet "tete a tete," all by our selves? How does my darling Addie manage to pass away the weary monotonous hours which seem to lag merely to annoy us? In singing, sleighing, and having "good times" I suppose. I think I never saw time pass as wearily, as it does here. It is a joyous time when the mail comes in, and plenty of letters come for us. but then my day does not come more than once a week. & sometimes it passes over without my getting any. How glad I was, when Cap Asper gave me your letter yesterday, I can not tell you. You may imagine my surprise, and gratification on percieving that it contained your miniature. I can only thank you now, and hope that I may come home soon and repay you better. But it is not one quarter as pretty as the original, but it serves to assure me that you love me, and I ought to be very grateful.

 Description: Few, very very few, have as kind or as good a friend as I find in my darling Addie. Again I was made happy by the reception of a letter from her whom my heart holds very dear & near. There being no more pleasant duty before me this evening, I devote it to communicating my scattered thoughts, per paper to you. Now do not imagine that there is any duty, which, in pleasure, comes between us, for such is not the case,

 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. J. Braden of Gustavus

 Description: I know you must be very anxious to know the reason why I do not oftener write to you, but much as I would love to have constant correspondence with you, even daily, yet it seems as if the "fortunes of War", or something else, are against me; Every day since I wrote last—(the last of March2) I have inquired if letters could be sent, and invariably received a negative answer. But I have grown impatient at the delay, so write, hoping to see some one I know, going to Win= chester3, with whom I can send this and thus,"run the Blockade".

 Description: Perhaps I am placing myself in a position liable to censure, in apply- ing endearing terms to you - but when I say "My precious Addie," I feel it from the depth of my heart. Used as I have always been, to being repelled and scorned by those who should have loved, to have the assurance that there is one who loves me, it is not at all strange that I should be some- what "outré" in my "addresses". Had it been otherwise with me, I might perhaps be a little more reserved in my expressions, but I feel that my Addie will pardon this seeming break of etiquette.

 Description: So you are going away from Mecca to be "Addie" no longer, but Mistress1. To leave "Maple Grove", Papa, Laurie, and Auntie (to say nothing of the rest.) and install yourself as head of a large school, to "teach the young scholars how to shoot". I fancy I see you just ringing the first bell; then as that strange motley crowd gathers in and by pairs sort themselves, and then then as you tap the bell to secure order. I seem to see you look around as if seeking if some friend were there. Did I hear aright? Methought I heard a chapter from the Bible by way of introduction. Then I heard that silvery voice - perhaps at first tremblingly - addressing the school in accents of kindness saying you will love and wish to be loved. Do not fear, my love. I have been in the same place.

 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: 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.

 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: 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.
