Wednesday. October 8th [1862]
Received a letter from Papa and Matsy to day of the same date as the telegram. Matsy says "You just ought to be down here to see how active Pa is getting. The other day he had to climb down a rope to get on board ship, and he swung off and climbed down just like a boy."
Will spent the last two days with me. He has been in Carolina attending to some business for Uncle Jourdan.
I fear Will is neglectful about trying to get employment. In his letter to day Papa speaks of two laws that have passed lately, one for the increase of the signal corps and one providing for a Judge Advocate for each of our armies. either of which would suit W [illegible crossed out] particularly well, and this is the first he has heard of them.
Our army is at Winchester, and McClellan is on the south side of the Potomac near Harpers Ferry.
