Charlotte Cross Wigfall to Louise Wigfall, October 24, 1862

richmond, Nov. 26th, 1862.

. . . Genl. Johnston got his orders only day before yesterday. He is to have command of the three armies of Bragg, Kirby Smith and Pemberton, but not West of the Mississippi, as I understand. He expects to get off on Saturday, and his wife goes with him.
