Orange County, April
21, 1864.
Your note with bag of socks reached me last evening. The
number was correct — thirty-one pairs. I sent them to the Stonewall brigade,
which is not yet supplied. Sixty-one pairs from the ladies in Fauquier have
reached Charlottesville, and I hope will be distributed soon. Now that Miss
Bettie Brander has come to the aid of my daughters, the supply will soon be
increased.
