4 letter making inquiry concerning the wants
of the regiment, aud asking especially in
what WAY tAer friends at homo could serve
them most effectively =
CAMP FOSTER, PooLEsvILLE, MD,
Oct. q, 1861.
Dcar SRI am exceedingly obliged to you
for your note ct sympathy and encouragement
received by Mr. Pratt Although the loss to
the reg,ecat was perfectly terrible, my list
Of killed. missing and wounded being 80,
Wink $50 was The largest number | had dur
inr the engagement, yet its courage was most
pebly brave and enduring. The battle was
hopelessly los. before Col. Baker was killed,
vet The cool manner in which the regiment,
malt an hour after, marched over from the
right Of the line to protect the lett, would
have won ior it a historic name if it had been
done on one Of the battle fields of Europe.
The men here of course lost almost every
thing in the way OF clothing and equipments,
.but trust that the government will make i'm
mediate provision; if it does not, / will have
no hesitation in appealing to yourself and
other patriotic citizens to aid.
Before this disaster | had intended to write
that each man in the regiment ought to be
supplied with an extra blanket and mittens
mot supplied by the government by the towns
from which The regiment comes, and this ]
am very DESTROYS should sill be done.
Tllc brave companions whom we have lost
cannot be restored to us, but their number
may. VIII not the towns OF the county OF
Worcester, from which these companies come,
see to it that each company is recruited again
to lis maximum standard, with vigorous and
resolute young men from their own town or
its immediate icinity, and not leave US to be
filled from recruiting offices of cities. Let the
determination of no one at home waver. The
courage Of the regiment is mistaken; two
nights ago, at an alarm, it turned out as calm,
ly as if nothing like this calamity had ever
happened, and the sick in the hospitals ,could
be brought to the window to see it march. 1t
brought its colors from the field, and be its
original members many or few, they will yet
be seen to wave high above the emblems OF
treason and secession.
