We marched to Fairfax Court House day before yesterday 18 miles, camped over
night, and my Regt was sent out to picket Bull Run yesterday. I stationed them
from Blackburns Ford to Island Ford. I had but 24 sick men to leave at Camp Vt.
All the rest made the marches But they are a little sore now. I think we shall
go to Fredericksburg way soon So my own sweet angel I cant see you quite yet. I
was dreadfully disappointed when I rec’d the order of march as I had a splendid
house made for you & me bed, fire places, closets, and
everything that you like so well. Especially myself and I was anticipating an
elegant time. If it had not been for you I should prefer to move as the men are
better contented on the move and better health I guess. But Darling we will
enjoy the meeting all the better when the time does come I love you my angel O
how much I cannot tell. God bless you my own sweet blessed love, Be a good wife
to your absent but fond husband. I love you with my whole heart. Write me often
& long letters. My H’d Qrs are at a house not, but shall move to day. The
[Remainder] of the Brigade is back at Fairfax Ct H. Good
bye my own darling
Yr. husbandWeelock.
