Camp at Stone River Tenn. Nov 23d/62
	Dear Sarah.
		Once more I
improve a few moments in
writing to you. it is a beautiful
Sunday afternoon. it almost makes
me wish I were at home to go to
Church. although I had near forgotten
what they do thare it is so long

since I have been to meeting.
	it is a long while since I wrote
to you. although I write since I
recd any from you. I really hope you
have not forgotten me. but I thought
as I was writing to Mother I would
write a word to you. to tell you your
duty.
	We are encamped on Stone River
ten miles East of F Nashville. it is 
a splendid place to camp. & I am
writing on with the rocks on the bank of
the river. for a desk. I can look down
nearly 50 feet of rocks. piled one on the
other to the water.
	We left [illegible in original] about two weeks
ago. and have had it quite easy
ever since. having been on Picket only
twice in the time 
	I suppose you will have nise

times taking sleigh rides. this winter I 
wish I were thare to enjoy them with
you. you must enjoy yourselves as well as
possible. we have only seen snow once
this fall. but for the last week we have
seen rain enough & it seems good to have
the sun come out again. 
	but I mus stop for this time
as it is nearly night. Be sure to
write soon & often write all the
news. Good Bye
		Yours Truly
			Edwin
