William Wirt Henry to Mary Jane Henry
Primary tabs
Last night after dark we moved out and took the camp occupied by a Brigade of the
fifth corps, and to day have been fixing up “winter quarters” again, but it is
pretty hard to tell how long it will remain our quarters.
The fifth Corps have gone off to the left of the line and we expect to hear from
them tomorrow. Our Corps Head Qrs have not arrived yet so I can tell you nothing
new in regard to my case. Ed came over last night and staid with me until this
morning. He is looking finely and seems to like the business very well. George
is in the Hospital at City Point, but I guess is not very sick. to day Wib Henry
and Willie Hutchins
called on me and took dinner. Wib is looking
well, but Willie looks rather poorly. John Jerome came over last night so you
see I have had a large number of visitors so quick. The 17th Vt is only about
three miles from here towards the right. I hope to be able to write you
something in regard to my case tomorrow, but perhaps cannot for a week yet,
these military matters are very uncertain. No news.
As everWilliam
