Abstract
Description
Autograph letter signed. From Camp Gilpin, Gloucester Point, Virginia. Reynolds writes about his loneliness and tedium that characterizes the life of a soldier. Reynolds adds, "We had a very interesting time in Camp on night before last. Our picket line was attacked by the Rebels, about 9 o'clock. The Long roll was beat immediately and the Regiment formed in line...the Colonel ordered all our tents pulled down, and we were marched into the Fort near by ... here we waited patiently for their attack, but they came not."
