Amelia Springs, Dec. 5th, 1862.
Mama and Papa returned last Saturday; they having come with
General Johnston and staff and Mrs. Johnston, on a special train from Richmond,
and parted from them at this place.
. . . What is the general impression as to Fredericksburg?
Will your battery be in the engagement, if there is one? The rain is pouring
and Mama hopes it will prevent Burnside from advancing. . . .
