This postscript was added the next day in pencil. James Booker was probably anticipating an attack from union General Benjamin F. Butler's Army of the James, which was advancing toward Richmond. On May 10, Butler's Army of the James clashed with Barton's Brigade (of which the 38th Virginia was a part) at the Battle of Chester Station (Gregory 50).
