Headquarters Army of Potomac Oct 19th /64
Dear Father & Mother
As I have a little leisure time I thought that I would write you a few lines to let you know that I am well and hope these lines will find you the same. I wrote you a letter last week but did not know whether you had received it or not. All of the Bustleton boys are well. There was pretty sharp firing last night. The secretary of war and several other large men were here yesterday and our regiment had to turn out for an escort. I saw Bill Ashton a little while ago. Joe Miles is still in the company. Give my respects to all of the friends.
Yours
G. Murray.
