Dear Father
I arrived here today about 6 oclock to night all Well
Our camp is located about six miles from Washington.
Our Regiment will be formed in to a Regiment of Artillery our Colonel having been a Captain in the 1st Regular Artillery. We are in a camp near two springs of good water.
Our men are nearby all well.
One from Westerlo ran a bayonet in his breast very near his heart and is very near dead.
The surgeon says it will be a hard job with him.
Have no more time now as the guard have ordered the lights out
