Camp Near Williamsport MdJuly 15th 1863Dear Sister,

Page 1

I write you a line again this morning so that you may know that we are still all right & well. Here we are (the Potomac Army) encamped & waiting further orders, tho’ our Brigade will not take orders from any one but a few days longer. Lee has crossed the river again into Va. & is probarbly by this time some distance from here. We ought to have finished him here, but as we have not I suppose they will still follow him, but know nothing about it any way. We all expect to move to day, in what direction I’m sure I cant tell

We may cross here, or at Harpers Ferry, or even go to Washington which case we should probarbly bid them good bye there. We dont stand a great of chance of getting another hack at the rebs. The boys are all feeling very well.

I will write no more this morning. Love to Father, Mother & much of the same to yourself.

I have recd no mail since we were at South Mt.

Your Aff. Brother Joseph Spafford

P.S. Geo. is well.
