Scope and Contents
1862 December 17 from F[rancis] Rupert (Camp near Elixandria/Alexandria) to Lucy Rupert (Bloomsburg Columbia County Penna.) to Sister re: says he is out at Drainsville [Dranesville] doing picket duty but came back to get horses. Captain said entire regiment would be in camp a week and then get paid. Captain treats him and Lloyd like men and regiment treats them like men. When in Washington he will go to the mess house and look for John Gilboy? Here it is dull. He and the boys want to go to the front with Burnarde? [possibly George S. Bernard, 12th Virginia Infantry Regiment]where there is something to do. Does not expect to get furlough this winter. For winter quarters he expects to do provost duty in Washington. Lloyd is well.
