Marine Hospital, May 20 1861.
My dear Fanny;
I have a few minutes to
spare from my duties here, which
I am going to divide between Mary
& yourself & try to get a second or two
left for Aunt Mary Willcox. As you
undoubt know I left home last
Saturday week for Norfolk along
with the 4th Battalion of Volunteers.
Since that time we have been sta-
tioned first about 2 miles beyond
Norfolk to defnd a Powder Magazine
& now at this place within sight of
Nk. with no particular business
except to be ready in case we are
wanted. I do not myself believe
there will be much if any fighting,
in spite of this warlike news every
day. I feel sure that in any event
we shall come out all right.
Thompson I see is in Camp near
