Camp Near Stafford C. H., Va.,
February 14, 1863.
I have been appointed Provost Marshal of the corps, and
shift my quarters to-morrow to General Slocum's headquarters. I am to have my
company and another one from my regiment, and a company of cavalry for my
guard. The duties I don't imagine to be very heavy, except in the office. I am
allowed a horse and a wall-tent to myself. I rather like the idea of a change
for a little while at any rate; if we begin active movements again, I shall try
and get back to the regiment. I like General Slocum very well, from what I have
seen of him, and he has some very good men on his staff. I shall probably see a
good deal of them.
