Major Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, February 27, 1861

Feb. 27th.

This is a beautiful day here, and I have been thinking how blissful Sue's married life will be if her bridal day is its true emblem. . . . We had quite a treat last night in the performance of a company in Druidical costumes, making exquisite music upon instruments constructed of ox-horns, copied from the Druidical instruments in the British Museum.
