August the 2nd, 1862 Orange County, Gordonsville, Va. Miss Tincy Huntley Dear Sister I will write you a few lines merely to let you know where I am. We left Richmond on the 28th of July late in the evning and landed at Gordonsville, a little town in Orange County, about 80 miles from Richmond. We left our tents and cooking utensils at Richmond and making up wheat dough on poplar bark without grease or salt and baking it before the fire in an oak chip is the way we live. My health is only common. I am very sure you can't imagine what we go through with. Home often passes through my mind. But then, I know the Yankies has to be whipped and I am young and nothing to leave behind if I am killed. Any young man that knows of Maneil Culbreth's familys condition that has not come into the service ought to be sent to Africa. I have went through lots and am weakly and very poor and puny, but I can curl my tail a little yet. Do the best you can. Direct to Orange County, Gordonsville, Va., General Ponders Brigade 34th NC. Be certain and print the Brigade G. J. Huntley
