Colonel Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, May 27, 1861

Harper's Ferry, May 27th, 1861.

My precious darling, I suppose you have heard that General Joseph E. Johnston, of the Confederate army, has been placed in command here. You must not concern yourself about the change. Colonel Preston will explain it all to you. I hope to have more time, as long as I am not in command of a post, to write longer letters to my darling pet.
