Winchester, April 27,
1861
I came from Richmond yesterday, and expect to leave here
about half-past two o'clock this afternoon for Harper's Ferry. On last Saturday
the Governor handed me my commission as Colonel of Virginia Volunteers, the
post which I prefer above all others, and has given me an independent command.
Little one, you must not expect to hear from me very often, as I expect to have
more work than I have ever had in the same length of time before; but don't be
concerned about your husband, for our kind Heavenly Father will give every
needful aid.
