My Dear Mother

I must write thee a very
few lines to night, to let thee know of
our affairs; we have not had many
adventures since I wrote thee before.
Mc. and I have both been a little unwell
for a day or two, but both are now feeling
well as we have in some time. The Reg.
had orders to march this morning at
day light; we were left here to see to
the things in the tents till we were
sent for, or till they came back; now
have orders to get up one days rations and
be ready to start at daylight with all the
baggage of the Co. Most likely we are to
go straight along to the South; the Federal
army knows no such word as retreat now,
they are ready for now and [underline]will go
on[/underline]. We shall go tomorrow, and shall prob-
ably go into action [ere?] tomorrow night.
