William Preston Smith to A. P. Shutt, November 21, 1859

Baltimore, Nov. 21st, 1859.
To A. P. Shutt,
        Harper's Ferry:

The Petersburg troops with Artillery are on our Mail West, which has eleven cars, leaving Relay but ten minutes late. Troops number nearly 200. Get copy to-day's American from train and mark it for Gov. Wise with my respects. The leading editorial seems to represent his views at length.

W. P. SMITH.
