Had a note yesterday from Gen. Jackson, promising to do all
he could to get a letter I sent him for Sister Julia, across the lines. His
note had hardly anything else in it than earnest breathings after heavenly
peace and rest. He surely is a most devoted Christian. All his letters to Mr.
P., and he writes right often, are full of religious experiences and
utterances, and pleadings for prayer for himself and his country. He is quite
absorbed now in trying to provide chaplains for his army.
