Received a letter from you which was written about the same time mine was.","I stopped in Harrisonburg several days on my way down. Had hard work to get away from the girls. Only a portion of our Battery is at this place, the rest of it is with the army.  I supposed we will go down tomorrow. The company suffered very much in the late battle of Sharpsburg. Lost about 12 horses in consequence of which this portion had to come back to the rear. We are going to get 2 large 20 lb parrot gun in a day or two. Every thing is quiet below. We are camped in sight of the battlefield of Kernstown. The weather is much cooler down here than it was in eastern Virginia. Horace has gone to Leesburg to join his regiment.
