Camp Arlington Dec 2 1861 Friend Mary, I received your letter yesterday, and should have answered it last night if I had not been on guard. I shall not agree to write much of a letter this morning for I am so tired and sleepy and I can hardly think what I am trying to write about and my mind is constantly reverting to other selves which have passed and gone never to return.
Black, John C. – October 13, 1861

Harris, George W. – October 1861
October [ ? ] 61 Camp Arlington My own Dear One, Once again do I seat myself for the purpose of talking with my loved one far far away and to pour out the very inmost beatings of my heart. I have been sick for about four or five days…quite sick and not for duty and am so weak yet that I can hardly write now but I should have to be very sick indeed not to be able to write to you.
Frost, William I. – October 1, 1861
M.D. Oct 1 st, 1861 Dear cousin I am sorry that our folks are all dead but I hope there is still one left to answer this letter. I have not heard from any of you since I left Home. I have written about five letters to you and Joe Morris and our folks, but I have received no answer. I have used up all my postage stamps and the secesh don’t keep any for the boys borrow of them to much.
