<html>My dear Sister Jane
I have but a few moments
in which to write; have been hung all day -
Was very good to get your letter - Read it with
much pleasure. Will try to follow your good
advice.
Jennie has told you we go into service
next Monday. The Company is ordered to muster
in at that time. I am not certain about the
result. Some of the leading men in the Com.
[unclear] who have been all along strong secessionists
have deserted us. This has created ill feeling
among a good many of the lower [unclear] of men
and they say they will not go unless the other [unclear]
of men go - they think th it was a [unclear] to catch them -
More of the officers are included in the number -
the others have acted in bad faith to the Company,
officers and Country - so the mustering in is by
no means certain -
There is nothing new here that has not already
reached you.
Boo [unclear] thinks the peninsula
between James & York River very much [unclear] -
He says there is not sufficient force to prevent Leiu.
Coln's men from marching up the by land and taking
the batteries in rear -
Annie expects to learn Monday. Love to all
Affectionately [unclear]
