Description

. . . and the next morning we crossed the on the ruins of the bridge and marched out 4 or 5 mile from town but unfortunately our wagons did’nt get across and dint get across yet we have no tents and it rained like forty the night we came over but fortunately for me I stopped along the road and slept in a deserted house I am in the same place still and the regiment is in another house and negro quarters all that can get in the rest are scattered all around the country for miles around there is plenty of corn meal in this house and beans and 5 of us can live for some time here I got a letter from you yesterday dated the 11th also something else I will try and stick the Bowling Green Currier in with this

I have not seen Hardacre for a couple of days or I would ask him who that was he is to he is on the other side of the river guarding the wagons I know he writes to one of Bairs girls but who else I cant say tell marth solman I want to know so I can plague him about it He wrote aletter to that girl in Andersons may be it was her

I guess we will go on to Nashville as soon as we get our wagons the secesh say they are going to make a stand there I dont know of when I can mail this but I will bring this to a close as some . . .
