Where was it organised and what is the letter of his Company and who is his Captain. When you see him if ever tell him I think he has the honor of being in one of the bravest fought engagements that has ever been fought since the war began and that he need never be ashamed of it if he was taken prisoner. I presume that the friends that ware to see us told you how we ware liveing now. that is we live as we run and run as we live. Our Adjutant has just come up from Louisville and says our baggage trains which we left behind is to leave that place this moring to join us therefore it has not been burned or captured. I do not know whether our trunks will be brought on to us or whether they will be stored at Louisville. If they come up and I have a chance I will ship mine home. If I had time I would like to write you a long letter but time is about up and preparations making to march therefore I must cut short. We have 3 days rations in haversacks and are prepared for fight at a moments notice. Boys that are with us all well myself included. Write as often as you are able and Direct until further Orders to Louisvill. My respects to all and my undying love to yourself and the children is the request of your Affectionate Husband A. F. Davis
