Major-General Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, approximately July 19, 1862

Gordonsville, Virginia

I have been staying for a few days with Mrs. Barbour, mother-in-law of the Rev. Mr. Ewing, of our church, and have received much kindness from her and her three daughters. My tent opens upon the Blue Ridge in the distance. The wagon-train is moving in front.
