Writes from camp near Brandy Station. Says the lack of respect for the Sabbath shown by the men in camp angers him. Believes that the men serving in the Union Army will be able to say that they gave "life and limb in this cause of humanity." Says he has been transferred to the "Signal Corps-Army of the Potomac." Mentions that he received his cavalry uniform and arms and built a house in which he will live with two others. Notes people he met at the hospital and states that he and Sergeant Perkins were reminiscing about their stay in Ward B.
