[Letter]: 1863-??-14 from Francis to Lucy
Scope and Contents
1863 ???? 14 from F. Rupert to L(ucy). D. Rupert (Camp near Germantown, Va) to Sister re: first time to write in great while reason is that three weeks ago he was out on scout duty and his horse fell down into a creek and he got a gash in his arm but it is getting well. Got her two letters with quarters which came very handy and a photograph. Told her he and company are with headquarters all the time they are provost guard of the Army of the Potomac and the provost marshall’s name is General Patrick a very nice man. He has all kinds of duty to do - it is a great deal nicer than to be out on the front. Saw an account in the paper about Jack Abbot’s 18 years in solitary confinement. Just got orders to saddle up to take a dispatch to Signal Corps. Lloyd and he are in good health. Give love to all the family. “From your brother F. Rupert L. D. Rupert.”
