It is raining very hard and has been raining moderately all day.  I am sitting on a camp stool in a small tent writing on a small fine table.  My adjutant books and desk are on my left,  my saddle,  bridle etc., are on my right, with the surgeon behind me lying in a small cot, trying  to sleep off  the blues.  The table furniture consists of one bottle of ink, sheets of paper, pipe, dirty collar, necktie, a tooth brush, broken padlock, and sword belt and sash, besides a revolver.<br \/>\n\tGeneral Smith\u2019s division passed this morning on their way to Alexandria.  I think it is estimated that at least fifty thousand men have been sent there.<br \/>\n\tI had three Rebel Prisoners turned over to me the last time I was Officer of the Day.  One was a Louisianan and the other two were Virginians.  The Louisianan was dressed in a gray cotton uniform with a blue cap. The others had no uniforms on. We have three more in camp to day; 2 more Virginians and another Louisianan.  Neither of them have a uniform on.<br \/>\n\tGeneral McClelland\u2019s headquarters have been, until today, within two hundred yards of us. But this morning, at 5 o\u2019clock, he moved off toward Alexandria.<br \/>\n\tWe have two companies from the 17th Infantry here.  One is commanded by Capt. J. P. Wales of Delaware.<br \/>\nPlease write me direct to Washington, D. C., Head Quarters Battalion, 8th Infantry.<br \/>\nYour affectionate son, W.J.F.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":4659,"height":3017,"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-300x194.jpg","width":300,"height":194,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-300x194.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-768x497.jpg","width":768,"height":497,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-768x497.jpg"},"large":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-2000x1295.jpg","width":2000,"height":1295,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-2000x1295.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"3-15-1862-p2-3.jpg","width":4659,"height":3017,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-15-1862-p2-3.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\/3-15-1862-p2-3.jpg","filename":"3-15-1862-p2-3.jpg","filesize":3960430,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8566","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=8566"}]}}
