Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills, (8th Illinois Infantry)

Goldsboro, N. C., March 25, 1864.

We were two days coming back here from Bennettsville; and have Sherman’s receipt for another campaign and his promise of a little rest. Have a nice camp ground and will enjoy ourselves, I think.
