Head Quarters
My dear Sister;
We have at last orders to prepare to move at a moment's notice. I think we will join Hooker's Army. We are busy turning in tents, reducing baggage, preparing rations, etc. I shall write you whenever an opportunity may offer. Your last letter received yesterday. I presume we shall have a stirring campaign. I am very glad of it. We have been here long enough. Love to all.
Ever your affectionate brother,
Ch. F. Taylor ,
