Camp Hicks, February 25.
We are under marching orders, and shall leave very soon for
Harper's Ferry and “so on.” There
is an exhilarating cheerfulness in this new life. I am so blazé of sensations that
my hope rises feebly. There may, however, be purpose and exploit in our future,
— who knows? I have only time to give you greeting.
