July 10, 1861 – Camp Correspondence
We have on hand a large number of letters from the soldiers, some directed to ourselves, and some of which have been handed in by others who have received them.
Generally, they are made up of items of news, which have since been published, and so are of no general interest.
One is from Henry Fifield, of this place, and is dated, Washington, June 30th. Speaking of passing through Baltimore, he says, Every man in the regiment had his musket loaded and half cocked, and felt determined to fight like thunder, if necessary.”
