&#13;
Dear Father&#13;
Not receiving any &#13;
answer to my last letter I thought but&#13;
that I would wright again and &#13;
let you know that I am well&#13;
and have been well since I have&#13;
been out here, with the accep-&#13;
tion of a looseness in the bowels&#13;
which has plagued me a good&#13;
deal. it is on account of the&#13;
muddy water that we have&#13;
to drink most all of the Reg&#13;
iment are the same way.&#13;
since I wrote last we have&#13;
been on the march most of&#13;
the time going from one place&#13;
to another without stopping&#13;
but one night at a time in&#13;
any place since we left Va&#13;
&#13;
[page 2]&#13;
we have marched in all about&#13;
one hundred miles going from&#13;
ten to fifteen miles in a day&#13;
some days we would not go &#13;
over six. I thought at first it&#13;
would go hard with me but&#13;
after I had gone a few miles&#13;
I did not mind it at all Just&#13;
as lieves go as not. I find that&#13;
stout rugged men are the &#13;
first to give out we have two&#13;
great stout fellows in the&#13;
company who have always &#13;
worked in the field and were&#13;
used to hard labor, and looked&#13;
as thought they could stand&#13;
most anything. they gave out&#13;
among the first. they are now &#13;
on the sick list and have&#13;
been for two or three weeks.&#13;
we have not lost but one&#13;
yet. poor Ed Addams he&#13;
&#13;
[page 3]&#13;
was taken sick in Va and I&#13;
think if we had only had a&#13;
deasant surgeon he might &#13;
have been with us now.&#13;
when we had orders to leave &#13;
Va and go join MacClellan&#13;
he was left behind to come&#13;
on in the ambulance wagon&#13;
we did not hear from him&#13;
for five days and then&#13;
herd that he was worse&#13;
and had been sent to the&#13;
Hospital. the next we hear of&#13;
was that he was dead he was&#13;
a good boy and was liked much&#13;
in the company. we have&#13;
three more in the Hospital&#13;
now. we are now encampt &#13;
in a pleasant valley between&#13;
two mountains it is quite&#13;
a nice place. if we only had&#13;
something to protect us&#13;
&#13;
[page 4 -- blank]&#13;
&#13;
[page 5]&#13;
from the cold and rain&#13;
we have no tents. left them &#13;
all in Va the boys take their&#13;
rubber blankets and make&#13;
a little tent of them but&#13;
they dont keep out the rain&#13;
or cold. another thing is&#13;
we cannot get anything&#13;
to eat we have lived on hard&#13;
tack and coffee for more &#13;
than a week. some of the&#13;
bread you put on the stove&#13;
and there will be worms&#13;
half an inch long crawl&#13;
out. that is what makes &#13;
the soldier fat. we once had&#13;
some pork some and after&#13;
it was cooked it stank so&#13;
that we could not go near&#13;
it. the Colonel ordered it&#13;
to be buryed immediately&#13;
&#13;
[page 6]&#13;
our Quarter Master has now&#13;
bought some cattle and we&#13;
will soon have a little beef.&#13;
we were within a few miles&#13;
of the great battle at Antetam&#13;
could hear the guns quite &#13;
plain. this morning we &#13;
heard heavy fireing in&#13;
the direction of Harpers&#13;
Ferry it lasted about three&#13;
hours. have not yet heard&#13;
where or what it was we&#13;
shall know to night most&#13;
likely. I saw General George&#13;
McClellan. he is a fine&#13;
looking man and is a &#13;
smart man to. there is &#13;
not a soldier in the whole&#13;
army but what speaks in&#13;
the highest favor of him&#13;
we are now under him&#13;
and Burnsides. and&#13;
&#13;
[page 7]&#13;
are now preparing to go &#13;
into action before long&#13;
we are drilled eight hours&#13;
every day and have now got&#13;
so that we drill tip top they&#13;
are enlisting men now for the&#13;
Regular Army they give men&#13;
one Hundred Dollars bounty&#13;
and forty days furlough to&#13;
enlist there has been som&#13;
in our regiment that have&#13;
gone. I had rather stay where&#13;
I am and come home when&#13;
the war is over. give my love&#13;
to Mother and write to me&#13;
I dont care if it is no more&#13;
than two or three lines&#13;
I am not so far gone but a &#13;
little good advice from my&#13;
Father would do me some&#13;
good.&#13;
Direct the same &#13;
as the piece of paper is&#13;
From your most &#13;
affectionate son&#13;
Tom&#13;
&#13;
