Camp Stokes Sabbath 1 o'Clock P.M.

Dear Mother

I have just arisen from a good, hearty dinner, and, as you expected me down today and I could not go, as they were no passes given today. I thought I would send you a few lines if I have an opportunity. Dr. Pratt is to preach to our camp at 4 oclk until which time I shall have nothing to do. The Captain and most of the Lieutenants are absent from the camp today and judging from what I have heard from very reliable [superscript begin] sources [superscript end] I should infer that we are very likely to leave tomorrow (Monday) Evening. I think it would be well to send Isaac up here about 10 oclk
