orange C. H., June 27th, 1863.
. . . I was very glad to get your note of the 18th June, and
only wish I knew where you were now. We are all an anxious set of women at
present. Mrs. Gordon (J. B.) leaves to-day for Winchester to try and hear
something of her husband. He commands Lawton's old brigade. . . .
We are all much delighted with the accounts from the Yankee
papers — of their alarm and dismay — but it seems unaccountable, after their
disgraceful and barbarous treatment of our people that we should not be repaying
them in their own coin.
