We got back from our expedition safe sound & tired. We took 3 cos infantry,
one cavalry- and one piece artillery. We got on track of the fellows but they
slipped away ahead of us. They have a great advantage for the people carry them
word of any movement of ours. You would be surprised to see what roads they have
in Va. & houses. Our hog pen North, are palaces to most of hem. The impression
of the Soldiers, is when they see these folks & their homes
&
farms & the general appearance of things, that it is paying rather a large
price to carry on a war agst such. Everything seems worthless to N.
Englanders. I cant stop to write much but that, I would just let you know that I
got back safely.
