May 5th, 63 Dear friends at home, The siege of Suffolk is raised and we are once more enjoying peace and quiet, but I dont know as I feel any different from what I did day before yesterday. I dont sleep any sounder than before, but it does seem odd not to hear cannon booming or muskets cracking every minute. Yesterday morning our regiment, with others, was ordered to be ready to start at a moments notice and in 20 minutes notice came and we went, but the birds had flown, and we chased them picking up deserters and prisoners. Billie and I got ready, but we had orders to remain and we were nothing both, and it was fortunate we did remain, for it was a hard march and no fighting there fore no glory. Probably Joe Hooker's attack was what called them back for they were splendidly fortified, and wanted to get us out side our lines, and there we should have caught it. Sunday morning I heard that the rebs. had made an agreement with our pickets on the So. Quay front (about a mile from our camp) not to fire. I immediately rushed out there and had a little converse with Mr reb. and pretty soon we got a boat, and sent across two of our men, and they sent back two of theirs, and so on till we had sent over and back a dozen. I exchanged buttons and stamps with them, and had a long talk with them. They were from the eleventh Mississippi They thought the "Damned Yankees" were pretty good fellows after all and said they hoped the war would soon end, and said they hoped they never would meet any of our boys in battle. They did not know then that they were going away so soon and agreed to meet us again at evening, but before evening there was skirmishing again and of course mutual distrust, so we did not have the pleasure &c. and before morning they had "skedaddled." After the forces had gone out yesterday morning, I went out to the So Quay road and saw a few prisoners and deserters come in, and picked up some bullets that had been fired at our men. Then I came back after Billie and we went out on our front, (Sommerton road) saw the officer of the picket and got permission to go out to the rebs breast works &c so one of the pickets went with us and we went two miles beyond our outer pickets and went all through their camps and fortifications. I got a couple of gourds, and also took a body belt that a prisoner had He did not like to give it up, but we took them off. One of our boys took his cartridge box. I took his belt and would have had his gun had not the soldier in charge come along just as he did. I shall bring home the belt, and a small gourd that I found. I went quite a long distance along their fortifications, and also on their picket line. I would describe their works but you would rather hear me tell of them, for it would be uninteresting on paper, and about a month longer, I shall see you. I see by the papers that our time is supposed to be out the 8th day of June but our boys dont "see it in that illumination" and will make a rumpus if they are not mustered out the 31st of May. I am indifferent myself a few days more or less if we don't get into a fight in the time. I wonder what will be done between now and a month from now. Will Joe Hooker succeed or will he be defeated and thus bring the main body of their force down on to Suffolk again, for just as sure as Hooker is defeated we are a "goner". In this last raid we took 2 or 3 hundred prisoners, and only lost a few men so I think Suf sheets more was a lozing game for the rebs. We are sending troops from here to day very fast, and probably one division will go. We dont know whether they will go to reinforce Foster or Hooker probably Hooker . Wednesday May 6, 1863. So you think I dont write as often as Billy, well I used to write twice a week and sometimes not get but one and I gave it up. I guess you dont write as often as his folks either for he gets two every week and sometimes three. Billy is just asking if it isnt most supper time, for he wants another job at our pudding. We have a jolly one. How would you like to taste it. Eleven eggs in it. So you want to taste some of our cooking. Well we shall have to give you an opportunity. Why dont Fannie write? I have not heard from her for two weeks. Have you received the allotment yet for my 4 months pay. Just think of it, only $40, for 4 months well that is better than losing an arm, but then if I come again I'll have my $1200, you know. Not much danger of my having so good an opportunity however, for it isnt my luck unless perhaps it might be a nigger regiment. But I must close to be in season for the mail. Nothing particular from Johhny Reb. Love to all. Write soon. Here is a reb stamp save for me I gave part of them away. I am as ever John Original Format If the image is of an object, state the type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data paper Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
