June, 2nd 1864 Dear Father Your letter of the 26th May was received with much pleasure on Sunday. I was very glad indeed to hear from you for I had thought you did not intend to answer my letter it being such a long time since I wrote. I felt very bad several times when I thought of you and wondered why you did not write. You dont know Father what feelings I have sometimes when I think of the past, of the once Happy home of my Childhood. where I was surrounded by those that I loved who I then thought loved and cherished me as their baby Son and brother but who now seem to think or care not for him that is far away from them. It does not seem as though I had any Brothers Sisters or Parents. I once in a long while get a letter from Mary but what composes it there is no Sisterly love or affection about them nothing more than to pass the compliments of the Day and talk of Home disputes, and Flirtations. I never [page 2] hear from George William or Susan John has written once to me because I earnestly requested it of him. I have received but two letters from Home since I was there and I feel very bad about it. There has indeed been a great change in our Family dureing the past six years the Father has been seperated from his Children most of them hate and despise him they pass him in the street with cold looks and haughty manners. he has not one of his children to come and see him and to comfort him in his old age. then on the other hand the Brothers + Sisters in their Hearts despise one annother. for selfish reasons one hates the other because he or she is a little better situated and has got the means of living comfortably. they are always quarrelling and disputing and are never Happy. I have really sit down and cried about it. I sometimes wish that I had never been Born. what aught to be my Home is not a Home to me. those that aught to love me care nothing for me and I am left to myself. when I go with young men into the presence of their Fathers they enter into conversation with them talk laugh and joke with them the go out togeather and enjoy eachothers company as though they were both boys togeather [page 3] but it is not so with me and my Father and many + many a time have I wished such was so with us I have longed for your company and at times would have given anything to have been with you only a short time. you have thought (and maby you do now) that I cared nothing for you but you are mistaken I know that I have often had hard feelings towards you. but I was the cause of it. it was my Temper which carried me away and caused your anger and many a time have I been sorry for words I have used to you when you little thought it. if I have disliked you at times I never Cursed you as others have done. neather do I hate you for I could not Hate my Father let him treat me in the worst manner. yes Father I do care for you and often do I think of you when alone in my room and wondered why I could not have been to you as I see other Boys are to their Fathers. But it is no use to talk of that now as it was so will it remain all we can do is to make an atonement for the past, and live different in the Future. I say live different. we can I know we can. You Be to me as A Father aught to be to his [page 4] Son. build up new hopes in me and I will prove to you that I can be worthy of your affection. write to me often. do not be affraid to talk to me if you have any advise give it freely and I will abide by it if Possible. let us be to eachother as we should be and see in the future if there cannot be Love without Emnety of feelings towards one annother. I am yet in the Provost Office and have charge of one Branch of the Business. I am likely to stay here a long while. that is if I behave myself.

I thought at first it would go hard with me but after I had gone a few miles I did not mind it at all Just as lieves go as not. I find that stout rugged men are the first to give out we have two great stout fellows in the company who have always worked in the field and were used to hard labor, and looked as thought they could stand most anything. they gave out among the first. they are now on the sick list and have been for two or three weeks. we have not lost but one yet. poor Ed Addams he [page 3] was taken sick in Va and I think if we had only had a deasant surgeon he might have been with us now. when we had orders to leave Va and go join MacClellan he was left behind to come on in the ambulance wagon we did not hear from him for five days and then herd that he was worse and had been sent to the Hospital. the next we hear of was that he was dead he was a good boy and was liked much in the company. we have three more in the Hospital now. we are now encampt in a pleasant valley between two mountains it is quite a nice place. if we only had something to protect us [page 4 -- blank] [page 5] from the cold and rain we have no tents. left them all in Va the boys take their rubber blankets and make a little tent of them but they dont keep out the rain or cold. another thing is we cannot get anything to eat we have lived on hard tack and coffee for more than a week. some of the bread you put on the stove and there will be worms half an inch long crawl out. that is what makes the soldier fat. we once had some pork some and after it was cooked it stank so that we could not go near it. the Colonel ordered it to be buryed immediately [page 6] our Quarter Master has now bought some cattle and we will soon have a little beef. we were within a few miles of the great battle at Antetam could hear the guns quite plain. this morning we heard heavy fireing in the direction of Harpers Ferry it lasted about three hours. have not yet heard where or what it was we shall know to night most likely. I saw General George McClellan. he is a fine looking man and is a smart man to. there is not a soldier in the whole army but what speaks in the highest favor of him we are now under him and Burnsides. and [page 7] are now preparing to go into action before long we are drilled eight hours every day and have now got so that we drill tip top they are enlisting men now for the Regular Army they give men one Hundred Dollars bounty and forty days furlough to enlist there has been som in our regiment that have gone.

Norfolk Va, Sept. 18th/64 Dear Father, It is now some time since I received your last letter, and I think by now you are anxious to hear from me. for the past three weeks my time has been so much employed with my duties that I have had no spare moments to write. to day being sunday, and no particular business for me to do, I thought I would improve the opportunity, and write you a few lines. I am on duty now both night and day, and it is very hard for me, as I am deprived of my sleep. during the day I am in the office and at night I am on duty in the City as Policeman. Necesity compelled the Marshal to put us on this duty, as we have a Regt. of Colored troops doing guard duty in this City, and the many Sailors that are granted shore liberty here cannot and will not aggree with the [page 2] N----- guard. they get on shore, and in two hours they are drunk, and fighting among themselves, and when the guard attempts to arrest them, they pitch in and fight the guard, several of the N-----s has been killed by them, and in return the guard has shot them, and it became a neces- ity that something should be done to protect the guards, as they were placed here by the Genl. Comdg. they must remain and must do their duty. some twenty men from this Dept. were picked out and made Policeman who were to patrol the City all night. they devided into reliefs. ten of them are out untill twelve. the others untill morning. I was appointed 2nd Chief of Police, and go out from six untill one at night. I am armed with a Colts revolver, a small Club, and a silver whistle and wear upon my coat a silver Badge, denoting who, and what I am the duty is not hard, and I am perfectly well satisfied, as I had rather do that, and stay here than go back to the Regiment. the only thing I care for is my sleep. I [page 3] am very sleepy daytimes, and very often go to sleep sitting at my desk. I think I shall get used to it in time. I was very sorry to hear that Mother has been so sick, and hope she will recover or has recovered by this time. I have been quite well with the exception of a Cold which I shall always have, I never expect to get entirely clear of it. I understand that the Yellow Feaver is raging in N.Y. I hope it is not so to any great extent. please tell me if any have died of it. there is no prevaling sickness here at present. we have had considera- ble of Typhoid Feaver here, but it is quite abated now. Everything ^(has) continued to increase in price here. it is very hard to buy the necessities of life. provisions are so high, and clothing is awfull. last week I had a Coat + Pants made, of black broad Cloth, and they cost me $50.00. Fifty Dollars. the same could be bought one year ago, for half the money. it is a Shame for the merchants to charge [page 4] such enormous prices for their goods half of it is clear profit. Hobun is still here but I think he will go home soon. he is getting very homesick. There is no news to write at present. everything is quiet in this vacinity. we had a great rejoicing here on the fall of Atlanta. among the Union People, but the seceshonists were down hearted enough. I have only Eleven months more to stay in this woe begon country, and if I can only stay here, I shall he all right for Home in 1865. Give my love to Mother and all the family, and now hoping this will find you well and in good spirits I will close. goodby. Excuse the writing.
