Day before yesterday we were inspected and took then oath. Ransom Tomlinson [deserted a week after the battle of First Bull Run] is in this company. John Holcomb is in the Woodbury company which is in the 5th Regiment. We are expecting to go into camp today…after we had taken the oath we were paid $11.20 in bank bills…David." VG
