[1862] March 24th

My Dear father

You will see by my letter ^'to George' where
we are now camped. We have been here several
days & will probably remain some time. The soil
is exactly alike the Albemarle red & such highly very
highly cultivated & a fine population. We will
have an informal organization of our com-
pany to day--not having enough members

[page 4]
for a formal one. I believe an informal
one will enable us to send out [?]
The no. of the company reenlisting is between 80 & 90.

[faded and illegible section]

I love you all.

Most affectionately your Son
W.H. Perry Jr.
