is the better soldier. There are logical reasons why it took three or more Federals to overcome one Confederate. It was not for want of courage on the part of the Federal soldier. The men who laid their lives on the sacrificial altar in front of Marye's Heights, the men who stormed the Bloody Angle at Spotsylvania, were certainly brave men, vet the fact stands uncontested that the Confederates, with 600,000 held at bay for four years the Federals with 2,778,304.

Do write me of all the dear ones I love so much. How I would love to see you all, so much, and home! I forgot to tell you of the casualties in the fight. Ours were only three killed; about sixty wounded; they were all.
