Yours received last night. and need I tell you that I am unwilling to answer yours. When there is so much stir & confusion
No I will tell you that we are about to leave this Camp for better or worse
To the front I suppose is the place of our destination
Last Night we went to the wharf to get each a horse But I had to returne to camp with out one because there were not enough to supply us all
This Morning we the Veterans or old Soldiers have to take horses & the New recruits remain in Camp
We will be sent a way from here before to Morrow Night I think, which would suit me very well for I am sick of staying around this cursed place I will try & see you before I cross the long Bridge but if I can not get a chance, I hope you will write whenever convient
Give my best respects to the Boys on Ward. A. Believe me ever Your Friend Reuben FarwellI will try & write you when to the front In hast
