Head Quarters 2d Div., 6th Corps.

August 14th 1863.

My dear Mother:

Thine of the 9th inst.
was received this evening and tho.
it is Late thee will excuse me if
I answer it this evening, I know.
That I am glad to hear from
home, I need not write. Last
night just as I was closing up bus-
iness for the night, David Fuller
and Geo. Harvey came in to spend the
evening, and staid over night with
me. I had quite a good visit
with them. [Pecley?] is at Warrenton
Junction now, some twelve miles
from here. David apologized for
opening my package and throw-
ing out some things which were
spoiled and would have spoilt the
rest, so I forgave him. Kind was-
n't I?

S. Wakefield has gone home
