Camp Board of Trade Battery Murfreesboro March 22nd

 Dear Father
       Lieut Robinson arrived in camp this (Sabbath) morning about 11 o'clock, bringing with him a lot new recruits, numbering 9 counting our old deserter J.H. Hildreth, who I believe sojourned a few days in the white oak while stopping in Chicago.  Lieut R. left Chicago with 11 but, one was mifsing from the cars when starting, while another deserted at Indianapolis.  
     I received a neat box (containing sundries) by him and also a letter from yourself, one from mother and one from Isaac, and a card-E-ville [Cart de viste] Mother and Sarah.  The contents of the box are very acceptable while the photographs just suit in quality though not in number
