How long we may stay on our present camping grounds I do not know, but I think we will stay longer here than we have on any of the other camping grounds. We are now surrounded by about 75,000 of our troops and the numbers is still increasing composed of Batteries, Infantry and Cavalry regiments. It is said we will have our new battery together with ammunition on to-morrow - (Monday) if so we will be well equipped.

     So you will see I have had a pretty good touch of soldier's life.  In the space of a week, and I am better pleased with it every day. 
    I can tell you also that my travelling propensities have been in a measure gratified [passing?]
