Harewood Hospital 1863
Washington DC June the 21
Dear Sister,
I thought that I would
write to you again to let you
know how I feel. Well I am
quite smart this afternoon.
I got tired of walking around
so I thought that would write
a few lines. I have not much
news to tell. General Hooker
has ordered every hospital to send
every man that can walk to the
front to their regiment and
I expect I will have to go but
I am not afraid to go but,
I can’t stand the hard marches
and the load we have to carry.
I expect you will soon hear
of a hard battle if this
war hasn’t settled this summer.
