CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA, April
2, 1862.
Every one, soldiers and all, are
impatient to be off and at work. We are anxious to see what we can do before
the hot weather begins, and are rather fearful that our Southern antagonists
will be getting out of the way, to draw us farther south and delay us till the
climate shall come to their aid. This, however, is not my view; I think we
shall have plenty of fighting before we can secure Richmond.
