men instead of 75,000 then we could have ended the war at once but we did not know it. Now I wonder who the peopel of the North will blame for the slaughter here at Fredericksburg. I supose they will have some one to lay it to. I guess old Hallerick will be the old sheep this time. I will sent you a piece that was written by a foreign officer that was with us on the Peninsula. But I must bring this to a close. I got a letter from Byron to day. I wrote to Alonzo yestday. I haven't much news to write to day. I will write more the next time. Write as soon as you get this so good by from your Affectionate son C A Gates Adress the same as before
