New Berlin, Maryland July 16th /63Dear Father & Mother Make no doubt but your anxiety for me will be very great having no chance to write to you and if I had I dont know how I should have got them mail I mail one more than a week ago but am unable to say how far it went for there as been so much trouble along the railroads that mail trains could not proceed. I have written three letters since we left Virginia in fact I have embraced every opportunity to inform you of my whereabouts
