 Description: I recieved your much wellcomed letter last week & was glad to hear from you. My health is very good at present & hope theese fiew lines may find you enjoying the same blessing. We have had annother very hard battle on the ninth of this month. I suppose you have hurd the perticulars before this. Brother John was slightly wounded in the early part of the engagement. Charles was hurt in the hand with his ramrod while loading his gun thay ware both sent to the hospital at Sharlottesvill our loss was estimated at six hundred killed & wounded. The enimies at three thousand. Our Brigade recieved a grate deal of praise for its bravry on the battle field. It sertainly did act nobly your Brother was not very well and was excused by the Sergeon & stayed back with the waggons, he did not have the good luck of being in the fight he has got right well again & I hope his health may continue to be good for we all miss him when he is sick or absent. We captured four or five hundred prisoners & two pieces of canon.
