I have
just heard that my dear nephew, Will’by N., was wounded at Chancellorsville,
and that his left leg has been amputated. He is at Mr. Marye's, near Hamilton's
Crossings, receiving the warm-hearted hospitality of that house, now so widely
known. His mother has reached him, and he is doing well. I pray that God may
have mercy upon him, and raise him up speedily, for the Saviour's sake.
