FRIEND W
/ last Monday while on the march, received
your very kind and ever WELCOMES letter of June
18th and embrace my first moment ofrest to write
Won an answer | am pleased to once again be
able TO inform you that my health is now just as
good as ever and that ofthe boys as general
thing is remarkably good, while under the heat OF
burning hot sun.
We left Camp McFean, on the above mentioned
day, and marched to Pulaski, Tennessee, where
we bivouacked for the night. In the morning we
left at oelock, and ia ths afternoon found sour'
selves at Elk River, a distance Of "A miles from
where NE started the day previous. AT this place
we took the cars en- route for Huntsville, Ala
bama where we also expected to join the rest of
our Regiment, but on arriving at Huntivie, in
stead of Joining the balance of the Regiment, we
discovered that we had made better time than
thew and were a considerable distance ahead of
them Here we received orders to proceed on to
small place called Stephenson. Therefore on
the morn of Wednesday we again moved for where
we are now stationed. We arrived here that af.
ternoon to-day the balance OF the regiment ar
awaiting orders to attack Chattanooga, place 50
miles from here, and on the south side Of the Ten
uessee river. We are now on the line ofthe Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad, and about two
miles frou the Tennessee River. We now expect
to have pretty warm time of it before we get
through for there is about %, 600 Of the enemy at
Chattanooga, and there are at Battle Greek, 10
miles from here, quite number ofthe enemy that
will have to be repulsed before we can proceed
further This pleases the boys very much for they
are quite tired of bodybuilding and counter
marches and wish something for change, and
they are now in high glee over the anticipated
sport We are now in the very heart Of Secesh'
and at point where the heat ranges high. Inc
thermometer at most times rises to 100 degrees IN
the shade.
Relative to the Attn of July I an some disap-
pointed, for fully expected to be in the State OF
Wisconsin on the day mentioned, but it is to be
quite the reverse, for that eventful day we may
possibly be on the battlefield hotly engaging the
on envy. We have now to feast ripe Blackber
