Transcript	Camp Fredericksburg Va ) June 13th 1863 Dear Mother As pa is writing I have concluded to write you a few lines we are all well at present and in fine spirits we arrived here only a few days ago We thought that we were going to have something to do but I doht think we will have any fighting at this place anytime soon the Yanks are thought to be leaving here the greater part of our troops are up toward Culpepper." Lee and Longstreet are mernuvering up that way while A.P. Hill engages them here we can see the old Yanks plain enough from our Picket line but have orders not to shoot but I dont guess such as this will interest you " We had seven men from our Company to desert We caught three of them There was James Trait, James Colwell & James D. Ivy that you know" the others are Thomas J. Cook, E. Brashier, Jacob A. Williams, Henry Steel." The three first were caught and may be shot for all I know but if they are I shall be sorry for them." Ma I can not tell when I will get home if ever but I can stay & do my duty as long as the lord will permit me to have my health I have been blessed so far with good health & I thank him for it Ma I will close trusting that you will pray for me I forgot to state that Stephen Burton was dead he died at Petersburg in the hospittle and we could learn nothing of the particulars of his death. Your affectionate son, A. H. Clark. Dear Mother, I will write you a few lines I am quite well at present We have been moving about so much that I have not learned to write well enough to write a letter yet I am coming home before long as soon as some one one gets a furlow Pa wont let me come by myself I expect Pa will resign and come home too this summer.
