My Dear family,
So far, this journey in the army has truly been amazing. I really enjoy my fellow soldiers and everything is great. I thought I would inform you of how my days go by. First I wake up and get dressed. We then have roll call which takes a while to get used to. We usually have drills in the morning and then practice for battle in the afternoon. In between those, we usually do chores and eat our meal in between the two. If we have some free time, we usually play cards or drink a little bit. When all of the practice is done we have our small supper and play some cards. Some people have guard duty during the night but since I haven’t had that job yet, I head back to my tent for a short nights sleep. I hope everything is well back home.
Yours truly
Lieutenant-colonel Fitzhugh Johnston Pettigrew
