Tuesday, if so I shall go.
I feel anxious to get back.
I don’t know where McClellan
is now but expect he is at Aqerin
Creek. Appearances indicate heavy
fighting before long. The rebels
are moving their whole force
upon Pope. I hope we should
be enough for them. I rec. a letter
from Julia last week. She wrote
that Rye had voted $400.00 bounty
to volunteers. I think that is pretty
well for Seccession Rye.
Raymond is also waking up but
I suppose Julia has kept you posted
on affairs there. The Lyon Regt.
leaves this city Tuesday & 2 or 3
more will leave during the
week. I hope N.H. will not be
behind, Gen McClellan’s wife
has been here to see us. She
has been spending the summer

at New London. If I leave
here Tuesday I will write as
soon as I arrive at my desti-
nation. If not, I will also write
by the middle of the week.
Give my love to all
