Dallas   Ga  May 28th [1864]

Dear Sister
		The mail boy
brought me your letter last
night as we were lying in 
line of battle & as he is going
back this morning I will write
a few words. We are relieved
to Allow us a few hrs rest &
sleep. Have gone 200 yds
to the rear into a piece of woods
I am unhurt as yet but
the fight is not over.
Since leaving Gordons Mills
our brig has fought at Tunnel
hill, Buzzards roost, Dalton,
Snake Gap, Resacca, Rome,
& are now fighting here.
Old Dan’s our div com’dr
can beat the Devil marching 
troops. He marches all night &

fights all day. We
[gained?] 30 hrs going from Resacca to Rome.
I am chafed all raw &
my feet all of a blister, but
I am in good spirits & 
all right. We are going
 to whip the rebs here & one
more place (I forget the name)
& then for Atlanta.
	I cant write more they
	are calling for the mail
