 Description: Much has transpired since last I wrote you - one week ago today, both in Virginia Tennessee and perhaps in Ohio. We have the accounts of the fight at Fredericksburg1, and of the almost certain destruction of that city, and is it any wonder that I am thank-ful Charlie is not an actor there among the scenes of strife and blood. But how many are there engaged. They may not all be Charlies, but they are probably somebody's father husband, friend or brother, fighting desperately for Union and Liberty, and how many torn and bleeding hearts will there be when the names of those who have fallen a sacrifice to foul, wicked treason are recorded. Yet I have no proof that you are not there. All I know is your allusion to the probability of the 1st Brigade remaining atin Harpers Ferry during the winter, and that you were (there) in the Pro. Marshall's office. But then your last letter was written long ago - nov. 25th and many changes may have taken place with the 7th Ohio, and - with my darling, since then. I am truly sorry that you are in a position where you can not write oftener to your Addie for it is a source of great anxiety to me that I do not oftener hear from you, but I have so often told you this that it is useless repeating it.
