Camp Winfield Scott, near York Town, Va.<br \/>\nMy dear Father:<br \/>\n\tI wrote home several days ago but as yet I have received no answer. I received a letter on the 28th that was dated March 24th, the same letter, I am almost sure, that came into camp about three weeks ago, but I was not here at the time and it was thrown back and taken to Washington again.<br \/>\n\tLast night, about half past eight o\u2019clock, our commanding officers came to the tent and told us to have our companies ready to fall in under arms at 4 o\u2019clock this morning.<br \/>\n\tGeneral McClellan sent a dispatch that the enemy would, in all probability, make an advance during the night.<br \/>\n\tThis morning we were up in time but everything was as quiet as usual. After standing about two hours we were dismissed.<br \/>\n\tThere is one battery, within half a mile of our camp that has five one hundred pounders and one two hundred pounder, the purpose of which is to shell Gloucester Point.<br \/>\n\tThe capture of New Orleans is a grand thing, if true.<br \/>\n\tIt\u2019s rumored around in camp that there is going to be a cessation of hostilities for a short time, but I can\u2019t tell whether there is any truth in it.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":2396,"height":2981,"file":"5-2-1862-p1.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-241x300.jpg","width":241,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-241x300.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-768x956.jpg","width":768,"height":956,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-768x956.jpg"},"large":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-1608x2000.jpg","width":1608,"height":2000,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-1608x2000.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"5-2-1862-p1.jpg","width":2396,"height":2981,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-2-1862-p1.jpg","filename":"5-2-1862-p1.jpg","filesize":2088564,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8559"}]}}
