Trowbridge, a private in 'I' Co., 38th Ohio Infantry, writes to his parents from Somerset, KY. He describes a method he and his fellow soldiers have devised for heating their tent. He mentions a probably false report that Gen. Crittenden is coming from Cumberland Gap with an army of 5,000. He indicates that slaves are no longer allowed in camp.
