Frankfort Ky. Nov. 12th 1862, Dear Sister, In my last I wrote you I was haveing a sore throat, yesterday was my worst day the ulcer broke last night it was not as bad as I have had them. I walked twelve out of fifteen miles to day I had to walk all day, we made sixteen miles in seven hours with other brigades with so many men there is great delay with the baggage trains, when I got into camp this afternoon was completely exhausted but after an hours sleep and some hot coffee I am all right again. I have not received your's and Carries letter you said you wrote relative to Charlies getting a position in Jefferson Barracks. I hope I shall get it for reading long letters suits me better than writing. Where our destination is is hard to tell, some say we are on our way to Nashville Ten. one report is that we take the cars for Louisville then go down the river.
