My Darling Catherine,

Yest’day we left camp—our Home for the last three months as You know. We started South right away. Richmond bound again or so they say. This morning saw Genl Grant. He is not much too look at but they say he is a good Genl and we need a good Genl if ever we want to lay down our arms and be One Nation again so I hope that they are rite and He is a Good Genl. I guess today we are going to have a Big Battle. When I look I can see Rebs just across the way. There is a little field here and the sun is pretty on the yellow grass. The Rebs are on the other side and we can all hear them plain as day. I think they are all fine Fellows and am not ashamed to say so. Many others think as I do and do not hate the Rebs but rather hate the War because it is a Bad and Hateful thing. Darling Catherine there are no words to describe the things I seen and if there were I wouldn’t use them because I dont want you to know the things I seen. They are all so bad. But the Rebs. They are all Americans same as us and only gone astray and tho War is very hard and terrible in its aspeck it is nessary to save and Preserve the Union. Youve heard me talk this way before and I still think it. It is hard to Kill a man and sad too because they are everyone of them our true Brothers and whenever we see Them coming we are very Proud to see them coming. Even when we are told to Fire! Fire! and watch as They fall we are Proud still because they are the same as us only gone astray somehow. It is hard to talk about but True.
