Ed[ward R. Jones, Jr.], camp on South Bank of Hazel River, to his cousin, Will[iam] Butt, Jr., [Philadelphia, Pa.].    Participated in the fight at Rappahannock Station [Nov. 1, 1863]; his and part of the 3rd brigade were the only active participants although the rest were under heavy artillery fire; due to the hilly countryside, however, little damage was done; combined lost of his and 3rd brigade was 75 killed, 25 wounded; the four regiments making the charge lost the most men, being exposed to the musket fire the most; the 6th Maine suffered quite a bit - saw 26 of them dead on the morning of the 8th; it was \"a glorious success\"; Hoke's brigade of Louisiana and Hayes' of North Carolina were taken, numbering about 1,400 men; his regiment of about 300 men had to guard them until the eighth, when they were relieved by some cavalry; seven artillery pieces and seven stand of colors were taken; about three prisoners taken for every two engaged; on the right of the army; camped near the Hazel River; fort about half a mile away; picket established every night; Gen[eral Joseph Johnson] Bartlett (his brigade commander) taking charge of division in 5th corps; Col[onel Emory] Upton of the 21st south bank of the Rapidan and the papers say there are fortifying; says that this fortification is unnecessary as \"the natural position is stronger even than Fredericksburg\"; troops have confidence in Gen[eral George Gordon] Meade; rumored that he intends to change fronts; heard that the bridge over the Rappahannock was finished yesterday. 2 pp. Autograh letter signed.\nItem 30: Christmas, 26 December 1863\n26 Dec[ember 18]63. Ed[ward R. Jones, Jr.], camp near Hazel Run, Va., to his cousin, [William Butt, Jr., Philadelphia, Pa.].    Reenlistment a question among troops; having received two letters from Mother telling him not to reenlist, he will probably not reenlist; had a nice Christmas dinner from a box received the day before; dinner was roast turkey with filling, cranberry sauce, mince and cranberry pie, and more; put the turkey bones over the door so that others would know that \"we had kept Christmas up in the old fashioned style\"; fixed in winter quarters and will probably stay there for some time; camp life uneventful except for occasional attacks by \"[General John Singleton] Mosby and his gang\" who will attack a picket of six men with about three times their number and run away as soon as an equal force comes out.
