Writes to his father regarding activities of his regiment, his request for a furlough, and possible promotion. Says his regiment recently destroyed a railroad bridge. Their current encampment is "indeed a picture of desolation"; he hopes they will be leaving for Virginia soon. There is an upcoming election for a new Colonel, which he doubts he will win, but does not consider it impossible. Written at "Moseley Creek," eighteen miles south of Kinston, North Carolina.
