Head Qrs. 185th New York Vols.
Wilson's Station, South Side R.R.
May 1st, 1865
Regimental news is not extensive now-a-days. The 'boys' are very comfortable
in Camp, with not much to do and no enemy to fear.---- They seem to be waiting
for something to turn up. Furloughs for twenty (20) days are granted freely
in case of sickness and urgent business, and many are availing themselves
of the opportunity. The Brigade is guarding three miles of the Railroad and
in a very pleasant section of country. There is much sadness relative to
the death of our late Commander-in-chief, as well as joy over Union victories
both in our own and Sherman's Army.
The citizens in this region are very submissive to the 'Powers that be
-' in some cases probably out of policy - but in a majority of instances
there is whole-heartedness in the submission. Capt. Abbott and Major Wood
lay seige to all the pianos 'in town' and they (the pianos) speak out 'right
smart' in musical strains, such Union airs as: 'Hail Columbia,' 'The song
of a Thousand Years,' 'The Red, White and Blue,' 'The Flag is still there,'
&c. The Major's voice never was clearer nor the Major in better trim,
than when seated at these 'secesh' pianos, in the awful presence of these
'secesh' females. It is hoped that his music will work its part in the grand
plan of re-construction.
I accompany this letter with a complete list of casualties during the
recent campaign from March 29th to April 9th, both inclusive, -- Some of
the wounded have since died, but as yet I have no names.
