Recounts recent battles, during which their colonel was killed and 50 soldiers were killed and wounded, losing in total 107 of 350 in the regiment and 1100 of 2300 in the division. Believes that Fredericksburg cannot be taken: "Every strip of woods is intersected with rifle pits, and every brook fortified." The men are very discouraged and the rebel soldiers look healthy and have great faith in their generals. Describes Fredericksburg.
