<html>Marine Hospitqal, May 20 1861.
My Dear Fanny,
I have a few minutes to
spare from my duties here, which
I am going to divide between Mary
& yourself & try to get a second or two
left for Aunt Mary Willcox. As you
no doubt know I left home last
Saturday week for Norfolk along
with the 4th Battalion of volunteers.
Since that time we have sta-
tioned first about 2 miles beyond
Norfolk to defend a Powder Magazine
& now at this place within sight of
Nk. with no particularbusiness
except to be ready in cae we are
wanted.
