'I'. On the 21st inst we moved our camp about 2 miles and are now on the South Side of Elk River and 2 miles from Pelham and are situated immediately at the foot of the mountain and it is a very pleasant camp The weather is very pleasant and not so warm as it would be ware we more in the open country. There is only our Brigade here. the rest of the Division is back at Hillsboro 9 miles from Pelham, There is no enemy near us that we know of only a few bushwhackers, and we are captureing more or less of them evry day. And still there is yet a good many of Braggs Deserters comeing in. Where Bragg has gone I know not but one thing is certain, we have driven him and his Army entirely out of Middle Tennessee,.
