Jul 4= 1861 I have not had time
or opportunity to mail this letter we came
to this place last as night about 10 oclock
Slept on the ground without tents
the teams not being able to
reach here so we had to go
without supper
we expect to advance on
harpers ferry or Fairfax Court
house tomorrow. I have just been
out in sight of the place +
got my fill of Black berries.
Write soon Washington as
