Got her letter from the 20th. Happy to hear Frank [Frost] was as close to home as Raleigh. Sorry to hear he was ill. They must tell Mr. Whitlocks to come visit him when he comes up to Richmond. His current quarters are very nice, but does not know if he will be staying there long, "for we have had marching orders every time it goes to raining." Has left Company E to join Company F. Captain Brown was promoted to Major.
