Camp at Warrenton Va

Sunday Feb 28th 1864

 

They have orders to move at any time but not sure where.  They are getting hard tack and 3 days rations.  Some say some of their troops are going to Mine Run again.  Just had his picture taken again “It is not a very good one for it was Spoilt in the Colering [sic] but it is a good likeness of me  tell me if you think I have altered any.”  Everyone who sees the old picture of him thinks it is a relative and looks nothing like him, “it don’t look no more like me than Abe Lincoln”. He would send money but doesn’t want to do so close to pay day because of missing money, he thinks they get opened at the post office.  Closing.
