Camp Gregg near Guiney Station, Va. May the 10 /63 Dear Father and Mother I am this morning by divine Providence permitted to write you a few lines. I am not very well at this time nor very sick either. I am rather weakly, caused, I suppose, by our recent hardships. But I am in hope when these lines come to hand they will find you all in good condition. I suppose you have heard before now of the vast change that has taken place on the Rappahannock since my last letter, and of the bloody battle that has been fought. I will now proceed to give you some of the particulars of the fight. On the 29 of April our camp was all in an uproar in a few minutes preparing to move on to march. We was ready to march in 30 minutes after we got the orders. We took up the line of march and proceeded up the river all day and reached Fredericksburg about night where it was reported that the Yankies was crossing. We halted in the woods and lay on our arms all night and morning. From all appearances there was a good many of the Yankies that had crossed and others was preparing to come over it seemed like. We commenced working on our fortifications and worked on them all day, thinking that the Yankies was aiming to advance in large numbers. But Old Lee and Jackson was wide awake. That night about dark we got our orders to be ready to march on up the river next morning about one hour before day. Lee and Jackson had found out that the Yankies was only pre tending to be advancing at Fredericksburg and at the same time was crossing the river with the main body of their forces about 15 miles above. Next moring about one hour before day, we took up the line of march and moved on up the river. About one o'clock we reached the left wing of Hookers Army which had now crossed and selected a splended position. Our pickets was thrown out and both sides commenced heavy cannoning.
