My dear Genl.:
I wish you would let me know so soon as you are informed
that the new Regiments are on their way to Richmond. If they came on as
independent Regiments I wish to recommend a Brig. Genl. for them. . . .
If I can I will come to Richmond about the time the
Regiments come on.
. . . Well, I think Mr. Burnsides is coming in a few days,
and what a fight! I think we will whip him badly. Our army is in good trim for
an old-fashioned fight.
Give my kindest regards to your family.
Your friend,
J. B. HoOD.
gen. L. T. Wigfall,
Richmond, Va.
