Leavitt gone. Again the class
of ’62 bleeds; and the
costly sacrifices are still
being offered.
When will it end.
May it never stop till
our nation triumphs.

Last evening I passed
very pleasantly at the
Vanderpools. Very pleasant
family + through them I
hope to meet Dr. Williams.

Write Richardson tonight.

 

When am I to enter
the field again.

Letter from chum telling
me to Leavitts death. Sad, sad!
More noble men gone,
tonight.
We visited Hunts point
+ rode in Genl’s carriage +
Chase’s barge.
