I wrote the enclosed letter expecting to send it to you several days ago, but have not had the chance. I think I can send this off tomorrow by a negro boy. I am now on picket on the rail road about one mile from Fairburn. Our army is about two miles north of Palmetto. I am doing as well as I can under the circumstances, have just eaten a fill of potatoes and feel first rate So our move that bothered us so much has proven to be a move to this place. we are now fortifying here and all these preparations make it appear that an attack is expected from the enemy here. I have not time to finish – now I will write you again soon Give my love to all Yours Truly G.W.
