Brand to Kate Armentrout, May 4, 1861  | | | | Published: | 2002 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-BrandLetterscivilwar | | | | Description: | In confusion not as you exspect for time is so very
presscious that I have to hurry about evry thing. Yesterday we ware all
on Maryland hights & had nothing to eat
& raining an no shelter put when we came home those that we left had dinner ready for us.
Brother arrived safely yesterday with Thomas Supple put
James Supple never will get hear for he took sick at Winchester & I
exspect he will go home, very likely it is good
policy in him for I know that he would be scorned almost to death. I would not
be in his plase for a fortune or any thing that seems
dearer. We all enlisted our servises to day as long
as Virginia had need for us. I dont think that we will
be released before Three or Four years & if that may be the case we all
never can come home. John is well, I think he wrote to you all. I am not surtain. Abraham sends you his love to you. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
