At three o'clock in the morning we struck our tents & packed everything & were formed into line & at 8 o'clock we left. We crossed the bridge below Harrisburg & went down the Northern Central railroad & arrived at Baltimore about 8 o'clock. We laid in the cars at the Depot until 12 o'clock when we marched through Baltimore to the Calvert Street depot (I think it is) where we stayed till morning when we marched through the streets, the same I believe where the fight was, out here. The place is called Mount Clare. It is a splendid place. Our encampment is situated right on a knoll facing south east. We have a splendid view of the bay."

Description: Letter written by John E. Gillespie, a Union soldier in the 30th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, to his father during the first year of the U.S. Civil War. A typed transcript is included with digital images of Gillespie's original handwritten letters. Excerpt: "I suppose you saw the account of that affair at Bales Rock. It disheartened the men (a) great deal. Yesterday there were orders read before the regiment that it wasn't by Gen. McClellan(s) orders that the fight occurred, that he knew nothing of it until after the fight was over. That expedition that had gone down on the coast will leave its mark. If that expedition is successful, we will advance farther South. If not, we will winter here."

We had orders to march in a minute 's notice in case he would be attacked, but we didn't go."
