I could not possibly write that first night. have had to work like fury since you
left, was officer of the Day yesterday & had no Co. officer present
& had to go to town 3 times to see about my muster roll. Saw Mrs. Baxter a
moment. She misses Carry very much. all that I have seen inquire for you &
commiserate me. How hard these boards are - seems to me they will kill me. I
used to think they were quite comfortable. Oh, my own angel wife, I wish I could
have you with me always. You are perfection & the only specimen in this
world & I want you. I know there never was a better wife. How does Carry
like? Remember me to her & all the rest- We have marching orders for
Washington to start next
Tuesday for Baltimore under Genl. Banks. I
am delighted to leave this place. Am tired this morn- as my duties kept me up
some last night. Now my beautiful wife I must close for you cant imagine how
much I have to do to get away Tuesday. Shall probably go to New Haven & take
a boat from N. York, but I will write more when I know more about it. Now good
bye my little darling angel & do be a splendid wife. for I cant tell you one
half my love Kiss me my sweet angel.
Your own devoted husbandW. G. Veazey
