(letter written by James Black's cousin- William Ditto)
Camp Washington, Arkansas January 14/62 [1862]
Mr. James Black, Sir your letter came to hand this morning and found me enjoying the best of health. All the Bosque boys are in fine health except Jess Ellison ; he has been in bad health ever since we came in to quarters. We have had a fight since I wrote to you before. Just before we started on the scout, we had a right smart running fight, nothing like an engagement. Some of the boys are blowing smartly but I think they will have something to blow for yet: About 50 of Capt.. Ross' Company was in the fight. B. D. Arnold's son Thomas was killed and Whittington, a young man that was living at Dr. Linsley's was wounded. There was nine killed on the field and twenty wounded speaking of the whole company.
