Camp near Fairfield
March 5th 1863
Dear Mother & Father:
I wrote you a fiew lines the other day by one of the Rangers who was going home, but it was so short that I have determined to day to write a long letter and try and give you a full account of what is going on here in this department, but I will first tell you about myself.
