H.\nAugst. 18th, 1863","Dear Sister--\nI wrote a long letter to sister Fenton yesterday \u0026 have, I believe, written myself out of news \u0026 and everything else. I am afraid I shall have to write you a short and uninteresting letter.","We heard yesterday that the Yankees has retreated to the other side of the Rappahanock. What their next move might\nbe I don't know. Some seem to think that they will go on the peninsulas or somewhere on the south side of the James\nRiver, but I do not think so. I think they will always keep an army between us \u0026 Washington, \u0026 their army is now too weak to be divided.","Fenton says in her letter that she \u0026 the Dr. have gotten situations in Camp Jackson. Where is Camp Jackson? I do not remember ever to have heard of it. I hope they will be comfortably fixed \u0026 succeed as well as they wish in their new situation. I expect that Maj. Bruce will get a transfer to Engineering dept: he is applying for it. I hope he will succeed. He is tired to death I know with this kind of service and so am I. Marching I do detest \u0026 fighting I love no better, but there is no other alternative for me. I am not an Engineer \u0026 anything else that I know of but a blockhead an annoyance to myself and all concerned with me. I had thought of running off \u0026 jumping aboard the Florida or something of the sort\nbut when I reflected that the Florida was probably too far from shore for me to jump into her I abandoned the idea.","We are however very comfortably fixed here, have a tent \u0026 plenty of beef to eat, etc. I have not been out of camp but once since I have been here, they are very strict and no one can leave camp without a pass signed by a Maj. Genl. It is most agreeably cool this morning, something like fall, heretofore it has been scorching hot \u0026 I am glad to see a prospect for a more agreeable spell. I have been looking out for another letter from some of you. When I am not on duty I just lie in my tent and calculate the probability of my getting a letter on that day or the next and am almost always disappointed. I do not believe I get half the letters you write me. I have not heard but once from you since you married \u0026 that has been a month ago. One letter a month! But I know you have a great many things to occupy your mind.","Dr. Bankhead has just come in \u0026 I have to entertain him as no one else is here. He comes over very frequently. I am\nafraid I shall have to cut my letter short as I have been talking to him until it is nearly time for the mail to go. I shall look daily for a letter from some of you. How are the girls in Danville? I hope you will be able to find a school they will like better something more private than a regular boarding school I would suggest. I think there are serious objections to a boarding school such as I imagine [Mr. Dames'?] to be but you all know more about all that than I do. I would give anything to see you all if it was only for 5 minutes, but it is an impossibility to do so now. We have now but 6 officers in the whole Regiment exclusive of the Field \u0026 staff. The Regt. is divided into 5 companies commanded by Capts. Wharton, Woolfolk, Garland, Green \u0026 myself, \u0026 one Lieutenant. Clarence Woolfolk is now Capt. I suppose that you knew that before. I must now close as it is moving near to the time when the mail starts \u0026 Dr. B is dinging in my ears so I can not write. Write to me soon very soon. Give my best love to Mr. A__, Aunt Louisa, Fenton, the Dr. \u0026 the boys.
