 Description: Yours of the 18th ult. is at hand, having been forwarded from Somersville, Va; and I will have to answer it in brief to=night, as we are under marching orders for to=morrow morning at 3.30, and I do not know when I shall have an opportunity of writing again. Our destination is unknown to your humble servant. I do not know of any regiment in the service which has been moved about quite as much as the "Gipsies," as Genl Wise used to call us.— I am glad to hear that you are having good times in old Southampton. Do not imagine that the toils and privations of a soldier's life have made such a misanthrope of me that hearing of those good things you describe would cause "hard thoughts." As far as wishing myself out of the army is concerned I have wished it long ago, but shall only get out honorably—either an honorable discharge or death.

 Description: Your favor of March 10th was duly received and I wrote an answer and mailed it day=before yesterday, but I have just learned that the mail was captured by the Guerillas between here & Gallatin, so I will have it to do all over again.

 Description: Your letter of the 6th inst. came to hand in due course of mail, and the reason it was not answered sooner was that I have been sick since the 1st of the present month with what is here called "Acclimating Fever." I am convalescent now, but still quite weak, which must be my excuse for a short letter.
