Richmond Va April 15

My Dear Creek
I have just time to
drop you a few lines to let you
know where I am, I arrived here
or within three miles of the place
yesterday; after a long and fatigue
-ing march this makes two hun-
-dred miles our Regt has marched
since we left Centreville, I cannot
give you any particulars at present
as I am here on business, and
have not time to write you any
thing like a letter, I will write you
when I get to camp. I received yours
per Mr Tolly, happt to hear of your
welfare be content with this Dear
Creek at present, as I am on par
ticular business, and important,
which alone could prevent me
from writing you a more satisfactory
letter Yours in Haste
William
Our Regt is camped 3 miles from the
place, direct to Richmond, Billy is well
