Pittsburg Landing, Tenn.

My dear Jane:
We finally left the steamer Empress yesterday morning and have set up camp not far from the river. The Empress is a larger class boat than the Argonaut or Hastings that brought us from Cincinnati to Paducah. Nonetheless conditions were just as crowded on board.
