The Yankees advanced
to the Rapidan River yesterday and we were ordered off to met them. After some
little fighting, they retired. It was evidently nothing more than a
reconnoitering party of cavalry. To-day everything is quiet.
Billie and I are
enjoying our box immensely— especially the sauer-kraut. Edwin was over again
yesterday. He has been over three times this week. I am just as comfortable in
every respect as I could possibly wish to be. The health and spirits of
everybody seem to be excellent.
I had my hair cut
to-day and I feel quite cool about the head. I am sending you the soldier's
paper which I take, and you will find it interesting. We have such a dearth of
news that I do not know of one thing worth relating.
