William Wirt Henry to Mary Jane Henry
Primary tabs
I recd your letter written last Sunday, to night, and it is the first one I have
recd. for several days. I hear that all letters from the Army have been stoped
in Washington for a few days, and will continue for a few days longer or until
we move which I think will be about next Monday – so you
need not be suprised if the letters should be a little old – you will get them
all eventually when they will be just as good. I shall write every opportunity I
have to send after we commence the march. I did receive your letter with the
stamps, but must have forgot to write you about it. All goes on very quietly in
the regiment since the Col left with the exception of a little
breeze the Major tried to get up with some of the line officers, against Capt
Frost, and in favor of Captain Dill. but I think I have taken measures to head them off. And if they do not look
sharp I will have Capt Frost and Capt. Dill. to for I shall not stand
much fooling. I wrote to Mr Dillingham about it. I
will write you all about it as soon as I learn how it is.
I am detailed as “Div officer of the day” for tomorrow, (Saturday,) and shall come in Sunday when I will write you a good long “Sunday letter”
My blessed darling one
good night As ever William
