(excerpts)

“DIV. HD. QRTS.
“Near Culpeper, Nov. 17, ’62.

“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.”
