November the 22, 1861 Dear friends and relations, I seat myself this morning to drop you a few lines to inform you of my present situation. I'm in the best of health at present and I hope these few lines will find you all enjoying the same blessing. I can inform you all that I had a fine time a coming down here. I left Lincolnton at 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning and got to Charlotte at 11 and remained in Charlotte till about one hour after dark. I had the opportunity of seeing a good deal of Charlotte that I never saw before, for I can assure you all that it is an interesting place. The telegraph runs there. I left Charlotte at half past seven o clock on the train for High Point and as it was after night I could not see any thing as I came down. But I can say that it was the best time I ever saw for good riding. I reached High Point about midnight which is distant from Charlotte about 84 miles. I found the camp ground a beautiful place and the finest tents I ever saw. They will not leak one drop and are very fine buildings. The cars passes here about four times a day. Me and Lieutenant Simmons has been out this morning and saw a train pass up from Raleigh, and while I am now writing, I hear a train leaving for Raleigh and one for Charlotte. I stay at the head of our row of tents and dines with the officers at a table. We have plenty to eat. We have beef, bacon, potatoes, molasses, butter and other things some times I will just say that I have fared well so far.

In this letter of November 22, 1861, G. J. Huntley writes to friends and relations about his travel to the camp in High Point by train with a long stop in Charlotte. He describes the condition of the camps, the plentiful food, and the rampant sickness in the camp. He writes that 180 of his regiment are in the hospital with "mumps and measles mostly." This letter is the first in a series of 46 that Huntley wrote home while serving in the 34th Regiment of N. C. Volunteers during the Civil War.
