Maryland Heights, September 29, 1862.
I rode over to Harper's Ferry, yesterday afternoon, with Bob
Shaw and Charley Whittier (the latter you remember of the Twentieth; he is now
on General Sedgwick's staff). We went to Colonel Lee's headquarters and to the
Twentieth regiment. I saw John Ropes's brother; he is now Acting Assistant
Adjutant-General to Colonel Lee who is commanding Dana's brigade.
There is a rumor that Andrews is going to be made
Brigadier-General; it would be hard for us, but he deserves it.
