Camp Winfield Scott, May 5.
Dear Hannah, – Yorktown was deserted yesterday by the enemy and our troops took possession. We are fighting them at Williamsburg now. None of our men were killed except a few wounded by torpedoes. I have no time to write any more at present.
Don’t be alarmed if my letters are long coming. The mails are very irregular. I am all serene.
Our division is still here held in reserve, and will probably not be called upon.
