Foster, Joseph Milton, to sister Mary and brother Freeman, 12 Feb 1865

Foster, Joseph Milton, Private, Co. F, 37th Massachusetts Infantry, USA, first half to sister Mary, second half to brother Freeman. Written from near Warrens Station, VA, Mary's half involves Ware, MA soldier William Lewis's visit home and a skirmish. On the march back to camp, the soldiers were pelted with frozen rain. In Freeman's half, Foster describes a camp inspection. He hopes he gets a box containing boots from home soon and discusses a song: "I can't tell you what tune it goes in but I can sing it my self."
