Harpers Ferry
Oct. 17, 1862
Dear Parents
..........I received news of Mill's death a week ago by a letter Eddy Fay received from
his brother. He wrote how he was buried with no sermon preached. He did not write why so I
could hardly believe it until I received your letter giving the reasons why they had to
bury him so. We are all well except Eddie Fay who has not been feeling well for 2 or 3
days. We are now a little over a mile from Harpers and a half mile from the river. We got
our knapsacks yesterday and found everything in them. There was a battle above Harpers
Ferry yesterday. We could hear about 12 shots a minute. We never heard what is going on
outside our camp until the next day when the news boys came around with the New York
papers. We had 40 rounds of cartridges given to us the other day so we can't tell how long
before we will start for Richmond.
