Letter from George at camp at Chattanooga, Tenn., to his sister Eliza, 1863 November 19

 File — Folder: 3, item: 12
Identifier: II

George apologizes for not answering his sister's letter sooner, saying that his duties keep him from doing anything in his spare time but sleep. He says that a rumor is afloat that his regiment might be sent home for the winter, but he is not jumping to any conclusions. He also offers descriptions of life in his camp, which is very close to the enemy.
