It is a wonder his head hasent com off he is like the King of France marched up the hill with ten thousand men and then march down again with not quiet so many. I think they want the never tiring 2 NY Cav before they can accomplish and whip old Lee. We shall have to com I suppose as soon as we left Poolsville they ware thare they never tryed to cross the Potomac when we the 3 was thare but i have braged enough. I saw in the paper that Capt Townsend of the 149th left his Com. He use to be Chaplain in our Regt.
