I want you to send me a couple of pair of woolen stockings as quick as you can as the one's I have got are worn out send them as near to my fit as you can. I would draw them but the last stockings drawn by the company looked like old stockings darned up and you could not wear them more than once before they were full of holes. I want you to send me some postage stamps too. The first and third divisions of the sixth Corps have returned from the valley they say it was very cold up there. It is quite warm down here the flies bother us so in the daytime so that we cannot sleep without covering our faces. We do not need a fire in the middle of the day we would call it Indian Summer in the north. Still there are some exceptions to this but they are few. The sixth Corps relieved the fifth and the fifth and part of the second started on a march we do not know where but we are to be ready to move at a moments notice.

When we entered the field the rebels were throwing shells thick and fast. Monday night about nine o'clock we silently left the battlefield, and crossed the river again; Tuesday morning we started again and arrived at our old camping ground about ten o'clock. All of the boys are sound and well. I wish you would send me some papers with an account of the battle. I received the four dollars that you sent me by the major, and also that dollar you sent to me in a letter. We have had orders to fix up or tents, as warm as possible. I would like to have some towels as I lost my knapsack. The loss in our regiment is estimated to be about thirty five. But I must close.

Title A name given to the resource Slaughter Letters Description An account of the resource Welcome to the Montgomery Slaughter Letters. A few facts are worth keeping in mind as you browse the letters. Only one letter in this collection was written by Montgomery Slaughter himself, an 1862 letter he wrote to a Union general during a Federal occupation of Fredericksburg. The other letters were either addressed to him, or were forwarded to him due to their relevance to the matter of relief for the citizens of Fredericksburg following the destruction inflicted on the city in the wake of the December 1862 battle.
