[Gordonsville, Virginia, July 28, 1862]
My darling wife, I am just overburdened with work, and I
hope you will not think hard at receiving only very short letters from your
loving husband. A number of officers are with me, but people keep coming to my
tent — though let me say no more. A Christian should never complain. The
apostle Paul said, “I glory in tribulations!” What a bright example for others!
