Near Fredericksburg Jany 15th 1863
Dear Mother
I got your letter of the 9th this morning. It seems as though it took my
letter longer to get here than it does anyboddy else letters. Some of the
boys got letters Tuesday that were mailed the same day that mine was.
Things this morning looks like a march. We have not had any orders yet but
everything looks like it. They are sending all the sick to the hospitals.
Smith Haight has gone from our company he has been sick some time but is
getting better quite fast. I do not think we are going to march with the
intention of fighting for we have turned in twenty rounds of ammunition
only carrying forty which is quite enough for comfort. Some think that we
are going back to Washington but I do not think so, probably I can tell
better the next time I write where we are going than I can now. Tell
Georgia Moss that I will not trouble her any more if she will let me alone.
I can't write any more now.
Your Aff Son
Cyrus J. Hardaway
You directed the box all right. It does not make any difference about the
middle letters being left out. We have got to take twenty rounds of
Ammunition again so I guess we shall have a mess.
