Harper's Ferry, May
27th, 1861.
My precious darling, I suppose you have heard that General
Joseph E. Johnston, of the Confederate army, has been placed in command here.
You must not concern yourself about the change. Colonel Preston will explain it
all to you. I hope to have more time, as long as I am not in command of a post,
to write longer letters to my darling pet.
