Camp HASTINGS, April
3, 1865.
DEAR MOTHER: — I am to
have a new command in Hancock's Corps. Either veterans or a brigade of new Ohio
troops. I shall probably prefer the latter, as it is not likely to continue a
great while. I leave Cumberland tomorrow. The new command is near Harpers
Ferry. Letters addressed to me via Harpers Ferry will reach me.
Affectionately,
R.
