| Sunday morning Nov 10th I was sent down to the stone bridge with a guard this morning and have just got back. The left wing of the regimet has just left for Annapolis Junction We shall move up the line about a mile tomorrow. I wrote you a letter when we first arrived in Baltimore and as I have never received an answer I suppose you never recieved it. This is the nineth letter I have wrote and have got onely two and them were about as good as none. I have rathe more privliages than I had before. I was appointed sergeant in company C. they day before we started. I would like to have you look into my tent to day. There is five of us to are writing two sleeping and one sleeping. We have just got our tent fixed up in top top shape with a board floor and banked up all around. it is rather aggrivating to have to move and leave it all behind. I saw David this morning he looks well and healthy and sayes he likes first rate. We have got a first rate Band and it is improving every day I do not know how long we shall stay on this railroad; | Sunday morning Nov 10th I was sent down to the stone bridge with a guard this morning and have just got back.
