+Letter of Herbert George to his Wife
+Relay House, Maryland\\
+July 14th, 1864
+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.
+"Bully For The Band!" : The Civil War Letters And Diary Of Four Brothers In The 10th Vermont Infantry Band, Charles George, Herbert George, Jere George, Osman George.
