In the field between My Dear Father I have another opportunity of writing you a few lines and I avail myself of it - Everything is progressing favorably and "the work goes bravely on" - Everything is quiet - this evening as the Rebels have fallen back from our front and it is indeed pleasant to have a few hours of quietude and rest after having been so long in or near the Storm and heat of battle - Since the 2nd day of May we have been under and near the fire of Artillery and musketry, twenty eight-days. I was over to see A. P Cutting this morning - he is well and in good spirits. - I have had no letter from you since I started on the Campaign and am therefore very anxious to hear from you - Jack Moore and all the Rushsylvania Boys are "all right" - Billy Anderson of the l3th was wounded last week in the leg - a flesh wound - As I am writing under great difficulties I will bring my few lines to close - Hoping to hear from you soon I remain Your Son |
