Gives an account of the Battle of Iuka. Transcription: [September 1861] Dear Mary A letter I mailed to you a few days ago, gave you some account of our movements here, we left our camp on Sunday night & have been here ever since. Yesterday & this morning it has rained very hard, & altho ? we have no tents, those that have gun blankets, keep quite comfortable.
