will be quite a curiosity at home.

     You may be shocked at the idea of taking things from dead bodies, but during the battle we did not think half as much about it, as we would about our dinner.   Some of our battery took sugar from their haversacks, while some low-lived infantry took even their stockings from their feet.  But such is war and such is the don't-care spirit which it gives even the best of men.
  I suppose Edward Hall's body will be home and buried before this reaches you.   I pity his poor mother and sisters.  I must stop short in order to mail this.  Remember me kindly to all. 

Your Affectionate Son
