    Civil War Soldiers Letter 5/2/1863 Picket Post on the Rappahannock 82nd NY Infantry Company C
    ….. the army has all left here except our division and we have to picket the whole front and guard the telegraph as well as the railroad.
    There is heavy fighting going on both of the right and left.
    ….. we are driving the enemy on both flanks, but they still hold Fredericksburg.
    There has 75 thousand of our troops ( crossed ) the Rapidan river and getting in the rear of the enemy.
    There was about two hundred prisoners passed our camp last night that were taken on the Rapidan and they say they think it will be the bloodiest battle that has been fought yet.
    They think the hardest fighting will be about Sunday or Monday.
    They think it will be about Hanover Junction as the Rebels will fall back to there.
    We are looking for orders to cross here and attack the enemy in front at any moment.
