March 28th. Near Mount
Jackson.
. . . My little army is in excellent spirits. It feels that
it inflicted a severe blow upon the enemy. I stayed in camp last night
bivouacking. To-day I am in the house of a Mr. Allen, where I am quite
comfortable. This is a beautiful country. The celebrated Meem farm is near
here, and is the most magnificent one that I know of anywhere. After God, our
God, again blesses us with peace, I hope to visit this country with my darling,
and enjoy its beauty and loveliness.
