Brigadier General George G. Meade to Margaretta Sergeant Meade, September 2, 1862

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, September 2, 1862 — 8 A. M.

All safe and well at this moment. Private letters are forbidden, so ought not to give you any news. Be resigned, and try to look forward with good spirits.

Willie1 is here and all right. Send word to Betty2 at Harrisburg.
