We arrived in
Richmond day before yesterday and were welcomed by some of our friends in a
manner most delightful to us. We reached the city weary, hot and dusty, and
upon crossing Mayo's Bridge we found at Mayo's Warehouse, prepared by our
friend Jessee T. Hutcheson, a most splendid collation of both solids and
liquids. We are camping on Williams's farm, a short distance below Richmond.
The sound of battle has again commenced—regiment after regiment moves swiftly
along the road, eager to meet the enemy. Our troops are in splendid condition
and confident of success.
