In camp near Lebanon, Kentucky. October 24, /62 My Dear Sister Although I have not received one single letter since the one from mother, by [Mr?] [Donner?] which I received in Louisville. I do not know that it would be exactly just in me to blame my friends at home this discouraging fact. But this is not all. I have not only received no letters, but this is the first opportunity I have had since leaving Louisville of sending any by mail. We have been marching steadily since last Monday morning up every morning at 4 o'clock and marching at 1/2 past 5 o'clock. At this hour I suppose you are having a right good old snooze. nicht [wafr?] That is unless your habits are somewhat changed since I left home
