Colonel W. B. Taylor to Brammia ———, April 5, 1865

amelia Court-house, April 5,1S65.

Dear Brammia:—Our army is ruined, I fear. We are all safe as yet. Theodore left us sick. John Taylor is well; saw him yesterday. We are in line of battle this evening. General Robert Lee is in the field near us. My trust is still in the justice of our cause. General Hill is killed. I saw Murray a few moments since. Bernard Perry, he said, was taken prisoner, but may get out. I send this by a negro I see passing up the railroad to Michlenburgh.

Love to all.
Your devoted son,
W. B. Taylor, Colonel.
