1st Lieutenant Charles Fessenden Morse, July 11, 1861

Hagerstown, Md., July 11, 1861.

We have just arrived here, two o'clock A. M., and have quartered our men in two churches.

I am perfectly well and will write again as soon as I have an opportunity; now, I must get some sleep, as we start to join General Patterson's army early in the day, about twenty miles from here.
