 Description: I recieved your letter on the 20th & it was a most welcome letter for our Reg. was on piket ware the banks of the Potomac & occation the enimy would throw a bombshell as if feeling for our situation but warsted aminition in vain but you may know that your letter being recieved in such a would make a lasting impression on my mind & thare I vowed before Almighty God that I would never play annother card it was very seldom that I every played; when I played it was for mear amusement but well I know thare was a better way to spend my time. This is quite a lonesome day hear, though a beautifull Sabbath morning evry thing looks quiate but dull it is quite a picture to look around on my mess some are Cooking some eating some writing & some sleeping. We had for breakfast you would laughf if you could see us cooking evry one must have something to say how such & such a thing ought to be done. H. Brownlee is hear to day tis the first time I have seen him since he went to Washington Co. he looks very well. Tom is Gen. Garnetts orderly.
