+ | We received yesterday a letter from Quarter-master P. K. DELANEY, dated "Camp Wool, near Relay House, Md, Sept. 22." Lieut. DELANEY says all the officers and men of the Regment are in good health and spirits--not ten on the sick list, all told." We are encamped on a beautiful hill back of the Relay House, which gives us a good view of the surrounding country, here is stationed here tho 138 Pennsylvania, 4th Maryland, 118th N. York, and one of BURNSIDE'S batteries commanded by Capt MCMAHAN. In this command I find all the boys that went out with Lieut. J. H. DONOVAN, except two. They have seen much hard service, but have not yet been in a battle. | ||

+ | The weather is warm here, the thermometer at 94 in the shade on Sunday; but the nights are cold and damp, owing to the heavy dews, which sometimes runs off from our tents like rain," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mr. Delaney also sent us a Secession company color, which was taken at Frederick, Md., and given to Mr. D. by a Baltimore friend. It is perforated by 28 balls. The color may be seen at this office. | ||
