 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.
