Major-General Thomas J. Jackson to Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, November 11, 1862

November 11th.

. . . Tell Colonel E––– that I am glad to see he has so pleasant a post as Charlotte, and that I would rather be stationed there1 than anywhere else in the Confederacy. Colonel Boteler deserves the lasting gratitude of the country for having done so much towards clothing our men.
