Headquarters, Taneytown, June 30, 1863.
All is going on well. I think I have relieved Harrisburg and
Philadelphia, and that Lee has now come to the conclusion that he must attend
to other matters. I continue well, but much oppressed with a sense of
responsibility and the magnitude of the great interests entrusted to me. Of
course, in time I will become accustomed to this. Love, blessings and kisses to
all. Pray for me and beseech our heavenly Father to permit me to be an
instrument to save my country and advance a just cause.
