clear up our camp ground and yesterday after noon moved on the Ground and pitcht our tents. We have a very pleasant place in rear of rebel fortifications and the Order we have is to put up our tents in good shape. But wheather we will stay long enough to [pay] or not is the question. I don't think we will stay hear two weeks yet we may all winter if Sherman has a fall Campain we may go to the front. Some think the [Lee? Corps] will be left hear to [garrison?] this [Post?} but I have no hope of as good luck as that. I [heard] that General [Wards] time was out [last] Thursday and he [sayed?] if they would give him the command of this post and his brigade he would stay in the [servis] until his time was out. Coll Harrison is going to leave us and going home so Col [Davidson?] of the 105 [Ills?] will command the Brigade for the present. I haven't seen much of the city yet only past through a part of it but should judge it was about such a place as Nashvill they say it [?] Freely
