Post-office, Headquarters Army of the Potomac
April 1863
From "War Memories" catalog: Letters from the loved ones at home were most welcome to the soldiers, and the government provided as good facilities as possible for the mails, but sometimes weeks and months would pass without our mail finding us; when it did come there would be a regular feast, for it would bring many letters; the only sad feature being the calling out of a letter for some comrade who had been killed. This Post-office is at Falmouth, Va., April, 1863.
