to Richmond from Williamsburg June 17 /63
Dear Sister
Your letter was recd yesterday
while I was in picket 1 mile from the main
road toward Richardson’s Mills. June 11th 142nd
Regt & the Division 1 Cavalry Regt & [two?] [b...?]
came out here 8 miles from Williamsburgh. After
passing through W. Skirmishers were thrown
out and kept ahead of us all the way. At
12[n?] our Regt halted and the rest went on, Co
E was sent out on the left & secured woods
and the other companies left as a reserve. At
sundown Co. E was taken to the right of the wood
and stationed there during the night. The rem
mainder of the Regt going on about two miles.
Friday, we remained where we were through
the night. Nothing occurred during the day to
speak of only our Ajutant came up to
a Reble scout and brought him in a prisoner.
At night we moved along [?] a short distance
and [rested?] our men for the night. All was
quiet as could be. Saturday morning the
Division moved toward the Chickahominy [swamp?]
12 Miles from W. all but our Regt. Sunday
at 2 Pm the Rgt came up where we were
on picket and we fell in with them. We
went to Richardsons Mills 14 miles from
where we were expecting to find a small
force of the Rebs. but they had gone before
we came up and the men felt disappointed
for coming so far and have nothing to do
we waited an hour or more and retraced
