Brown family of Tompkins Country, NY. Handwritten letter on patriotic stationary card, dated "Alexandria, July 11, 1861" as his regiment is on the move to engage in the first battle of the civil war. We broke up camp Macdougal this morning on an hours notice, marched through Washington and took a steamer for this place... I go further and further from home....

I have received nothing yet from my due, and we are very poorly equipped for the war... We are so far away....
