Major-General Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, June 2, 1862

I am again retiring before the enemy. They endeavored to get in my rear by moving on both flanks of my gallant army, but our God has been my guide and saved me from their grasp. You must not expect long letters from me in such busy times as these, but always believe that your husband never forgets his little darling
