+ | Dear folks at home | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just a word —I am all tired out & cant seem to get rested any although | ||
+ | we have been here doing nothing for 3 days. We went up to Frederick & | ||
+ | fought the rebs — got whipped & had to retreat 40 miles in a hurry. Such a | ||
+ | hard march I never had. I'll tell you all about it when I feel like it. I came | ||
+ | near falling out & being taken prisoner. My first Bass player was taken prisoner | ||
+ | & the other one is sick. Two others sick & I’m about sick so the Band is | ||
+ | played out for a day or two. Our regt is pretty small now. Only about 200 | ||
+ | muskets and guess it will fall short of that. We are now ordered to move somewhere but can't tell anything about were. | ||
