Mentions that his regiment just halted in front of stores in the main street of Hagerstown. Says a battle has been occurring throughout the day on the outskirts of the town. Notes the battle appears to have turned in favor of the Union side because "the rebels are getting badly used up." Says that ambulances are bringing in the wounded, and a Philadelphia man from Anderson's troop was just killed. Letter ends abruptly with a farewell and a wish of love to all.
