  • I don't know yet whether John will carry my overcoat or not. If he does he will tell you where he leaves it. June the 6th, 1862 Camp near Richmond, Va. Dear Friends I seat myself to write you a few lines to inform you of my present case. I am well at this time and I hope my lines will come safe to hand and find you all in the same situation. I have nothing very interesting to write to you at this time for I have wrote two letters home since Last Sunday morning and they contained all the news that I have. I wrote to you about our late fighting here close to Richmond. I also informed you of the 16th Regiment being in the fight. Since I wrote my last letter I have got some more of the particulars of the fight. I have heard of several that was wounded in the 16th. Pinckney Martin was badly wounded in the head, Riley Wall and Mitchell Wall was both wounded. James Davis, Tolliver Davis' son, was wounded. John Mackintire was badly wounded. Killpatrick and Champ Davis was killed. As for our loss in the fight, I can't tell the number but our loss was heavy. Our army and the Yankies is close together and we are expecting an engagement every day. But, owing I suppose, to so much bad weather, neither side has made more attacks. You want to know something about Ransen Price. He is well and one of the finest fellers in camp. When you write to him put the letter in mine.
