On Picket near Brandy

Station, Va. Nov. 20^th 1863

 

Dear Brother.

                        Your favor was thankfully received some two or three days ago, but my time has been so much occupied that I have not been able to write. but better late than never. I hope in future you will write longer letters. let me know your prospects &c.&c. Shurely you can find time. How is it that you do not write longer letters to our dear Parents If you knew their anxiety for you, you would find more / time to write. I believe you are well acquainted with our fight at Rappahannock Station Since that time we have remained quiet but how long no one knows.

 

I am well and hearty. I must be brief as I go on post in twenty min. & must eat a little something. Rec^d a letter from Brother George the other day. was as well as could be expected.

 

I must be brief closing as of old

                       

Your Afft & Loving

Brother Loo—
