Thanks Ogden for her kindness. Says he wished to write sooner, but found it impossible because of his regiment's movements. Reports seeing many battles, stating that Gaines Mills, Manassas, Cramptons Gap, and Antietam were "the hardest fought." Writes his regiment has been thinning lately due to their frequent engagements, but two more regiments have recently joined them. He reports that the men have received their winter clothing, and concludes by informing Ogden that he has been promoted to acting sergeant major. Includes an embossed seal in the upper left hand corner.
