the 16^th went to fairfax [Fairfax] C H the
last I heard of them I presume they
are in that vacinity [vicinity] now I have not
seen Charly F Charles Farmsworth but once since he was
home on a visit We burned our old
camp and mooved [moved] in the night in
one of the hardest rain storms of the
season encamped at Falls Church
about 12M and went into camp on the
morning of the 27^th of May The night
before breaking camp we lost two valuable
men from our Co [Company] Sgt Parker and our
Farrier The latter was shot dead and the
former had six buck shot put into him
and his recovery has been considered
impossible but the DR [doctor] now sayes [says]
there is a slight chance for his recovery
L. Co [Company] has been the most unfortunate of
all I think it time for a change and it
must be in our favor if anything

There is a scout going out this afternoon
and I shall miss by being on guard
I should like to go but cannot this time
