Bristoe Station, April 28, ’64.
Dear Father, — Here I am again on the old ground. We left Alexandria yesterday and reached here to-night. The regiment marches well, and I am much pleased with it.
The report is that we relieve the Fifth Corps, which is guarding the railroad at Washington. I don’t believe it, although I think it highly probable that the negro division of the corps may be left to do guard-duty. We marched from Fairfax C. H. this morning, and as I feel very tired, I must stop.
