Alvin Brown
"I must tell you one thing yet and that is, we expect to have a hard battle at Fredericksburg before long...." Alvin Brown, Camp Brooks Station March the 15th, 1863
Camp Brooks Station March the 15th, 1863
Dear Father--
I am well at present. I hope when these few lines reach you, they will find you the same.
I did not receive a letter from you for about three weeks. I wrote you a letter to you a good while ago. I was waiting for an answer from you, but I did not receive an answer yet today. So I thought I would write another letter to you. I hope there is nothing wrong that you don’t.
I had wrote in my other letter for a fine comb and some black thread. If you get this letter, send me them things, if you can. I have not much to write this time. I must tell you one thing yet and that is, we expect to have a hard battle at Fredericksburg before long. I received a letter from George about three weeks ago. I could [not] answer his because I could not get any postage stamps. Nothing more at present.
Answer soon. Alvin Brown
