William Wirt Henry to Mary Jane Henry
Primary tabs
Here we are again safe and sound at “Park Station” about five miles below
Petersburg, and almost on the very same ground we left last July. Our Corps is
going into camp where the Fifth Corps are camped and they are going some where
else, do not know yet where. I expect our Corps Head Qrs will get along tomorrow
or next day when I can get a chance at last to be examined by Dr Hollman and
shall then know my fate, wether I am to stay or go. My paper has passed Div Head
Qr all right. I will let you know every day how I get along, for we can send a
mail every day from here. I saw Ed Parker yesterday at City Point
He
is looking tip top, but I guess is a little lonesome. I
learn Ed Henry is only a few miles from here as soon as I learn what I am to do,
shall look him up. There is any amount of rumors in camp about what is going to
be done here, but so far we learn nothing official. We are close by Genl.
Meade’s Head Qrs, and Genl. Grant has just made him a visit and left again for
City Point. I will write again tomorrow
As everWilliam
