DEAR CoL.-It is believed that we are upor
the eve Of another great battle, and ere the

gagged in deadly conflict, face to face with
traitorous foe.
Wcare cncampcd in a beautiful spot, in an
open field, perhaps the finest camp we have
had since we have been far down in the land
of "Diyie." Breastworks are being erected
all around US and if the enemy should attack
Us now, they will receive much warmer re,
ception than they did at Shiloh,
had the pleasure, "a few days ago, Of Ia
king by the hand our fellow townsman, DR.,
lrucsdalc. | was much pleased to meet him,
and he informs me that he intends to remain
with us until after the expected battle. | am
glad OF 1t, for with two such physicians as Drs.
Cady and Trucsdalc, at least the Rock Island
boys should any OF them be so unfortunate az
TO get wounded, will be well taken care of.
We are kept moving almost daily, and |
cannot get II chance to write rs often a- |
