My Dear Family,

I miss you all so much. I am in so many big battles like the battle of Bull Run and the battle of Wilson's Creek. I can't wait to see you again. Tons of people are dying and there is very little food to go around. All of this said that doesn't mean that no fun was had because I personally liked yelling at the top of my lungs for seemingly no reason at Bull Run. Other than that I have been feeling a minuit to death at every moment. Not the greatest days. The greatest days are ahead when I come home to you.

Love,
George Ottet IV
