To day nine months ago our company left home for the seat of war at Pensacola Fla. And after nine months of service we find our selves at Bowling Green Kentucky in front of the enemy as has been our lot ever since we entered the service we have been in front of the enemy nine months and have never had an opportunity yet to show our country what we could do. The fourth Ala Regt has not been in service as long as we have yet upon the glory field of Manassas immortalized its self while the 7th has been laboring and toiling in the sands of Floriday suffering with disease and death but yet we get no praise only for gentlemany conduct towards the inhabitants of that part of the country through which we have traveled...it seems that hard luck will be our portion the ballance of our time..but yet I do not despair of having an opportunity of meeting the enemy in the battle field before our time is entirely out.
