General Robert E. Lee to Mary Custis Lee, September 18, 1863

Camp Near Orange Court House, September 18, 1863

The enemy state that they have heard of a great reduction in our forces here, and are now going to drive us back to Richmond. I trust they will not succeed. But our hope and refuge is in our merciful Father in heaven.
