is anxious to again join the cavalry command and go rearing and tearing on the flanks of our army down in Alabama and Georgia once more. We have got a splendid battery of 3 inch (10 lb) Parrott guns new harnefs good horses and the men are in excellent health and well prepared for an active campaign. When we do start we will probably go back to Huntsville and report to the cavalry command. Since we have been in Nashville our camp has been thronged with Chicago men almost every day. Andrew King who was down to see us at Murfreesboro last winter is in camp again. He has a brother in the battery
