Written from camp near Kellys Ford. Comments on his company's recent move, which had been intended to "cross the Rapidan and make the Rebels either Retreat or fight," but notes they had retreated based on General [George] G. Meade's orders. Thinks the move was intended so they could take possession of Fredericksburg Heights. Writes, "we get all the Papers here, and had a full Report of the dedication ceremonies," referring to the Dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery 19 November 1863 (where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address).
