If you call her by my name that I sent, learn yourselves to call her Emery Emery June the 3, 1862 Camp near Richmond, Va. Miss Tincy Huntley I write you a few lines to inform you of my present situation. I am well at this time and I hope my lines will reach you enjoying the same blessing. I wrote a letter home last Sunday morning. When I started it I had not read ary letter from home in about a month, but I got one about one hour after I started mine. I was glad to hear from home but sorry that the wheat had the rust. I stated to you in my letter of Sunday that the Yankies and our Forces had been fighting for some time and that we expected to be ordered to the fight every minute and sure enough we got orders on Sunday evening to march to the field of action. We marched about three or four miles towards where they were fighting and got orders to take up. We took up and have been here ever since. We are looking for orders every minute to move on to where they are still fighting. Some fear it has not ended yet. I have not got all the particulars of the fight of Saturday and Sunday yet. Our forces drove the Yankies back at the point of bayonet, but we lost a power of men. The 16th Regiment was in the fight, but I han't heard whether any of the Rutherford boys was killed or not, but I expect from all accounts there was a good many of them killed. Champ Davis and James Killpatrick was killed,

In this letter of June 3, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes his sister Miss Tincy Huntley from his location near Richmond, Virginia where he reports that the fighting has intensified and a regiment from Rutherford has surely lost some boys. He is very close to the fighting and can clearly see the Yankie camp from his. This letter is one of a series of 46 that Huntley wrote home while serving in the 34th Regiment of N. C. Volunteers during the Civil War.
