Called to see Mrs. W. D. Bailey who is convalescent. Lucy who went back to town this morning came down again bringing Katy Andrews, on the evening train with a long letter from Rufus giving an account of his experiences during the late bloody battles in Virginia and Maryland. He has done nobly. In a late letter he says:
We have about 200 men left for duty. The brigade has a deservedly splendid reputation in the army. If I live through the struggle it will be the glory of my life to have fought with the gallant sixth at Sharpsburg, South Mountain, Gainsville and Bull Run. I fear you may yet have trouble at home.
