June the 10th /63 In line of battle near Fredericksburg Dear Sister Having a few leisure moments this morning I readily embrace them to drop you a few lines to inform you of my present situation. I am in common health, hoping these lines will come to hand in due time and find you all in fine condition. I am sorry to have to inform you that we are in fire of battle near Fredericksburg and have been for the last five days. The Yankies have been crossing some ever since we come here. We are in our fortification which is about one mile from the river. It is nothing but a level bottom between us and the river. Our pickets and theirs is within 300 yds of each other and once in a while they knock each other up. They have come over and is living close on their side and have thrown up some fortifications to protect them selves. It is almost impossible to tell what they intend to do. It is impossible for us to attack them. Where they are is large range of hills on the other side of the river, from where they can shell us to death if we was to go as near as the river. And if they attack us, there is some hills in the rear of us that shot and shell will be rained from in such torrents that it will shake the very earth. I suppose the line of battle is something like 15 miles long up and down the river. On each side, face to face, the two armies has been lying for the last five days. What will be the result I am unable to tell. I am inclined to think that the Yankies will attack in less than 48 hours, though they may not. I was on the picket lines all night last night. Sometimes our Pickets and the Yankies meets each other half way between the lines and shakes hands and exchanges papers and then returns back and takes up their old muskets and goes to shooting. While I was on the lines last night one of our men and theirs met each other half way and shook hands when they met, exchanged papers, and then
