Rec’d a letter from Fry today of 12th Insta[nt]
from Coopers wells – Poor fellow is terribly
dissatisfied with Fenners Company which
will not be able to take the field for a
month.  Heard of most of No. 3. Every
thing is very quiet on the lines today, that
persons think there will be a great battle
in a few days – probably tomorrow or next day,
Mr Coffin is very low – Heard that “the family”
are going to InisKillen plain – I long for this
battle to occur so that I can get a furlough.  Return
