ALS 2 p. 1862 November 24 James Booker, Spottsyvania, Virginia, near Fredricksburg, letter to Chloe Unity Blair

After reporting that he and his brother John are well, James Booker writes that the company has been marching for the past four days and has finally arrived at its camp near Fredericksburg. Many Union soldiers are nearby, and he predicts that the Union troops will soon begin shelling the Confederates. He expects a "hard" battle to commence soon.
