“RICHMOND, Nov. 26th 1862.

        ” . . . Genl. Johnston1 got his orders only day before yesterday. He is to have command of the three armies of Bragg, Kirby Smith and Pemberton, but not West of the Mississippi, as I understand. He expects to get off on Saturday, and his wife goes with him.”


  1. General Joseph  E. Johnston had been injured at the Battle of Seven Pines in late May 1862. Johnston was struck in the right shoulder by a bullet, immediately followed by a shell fragment hitting him in the chest. He fell unconscious from his horse with a broken right shoulder blade and two broken ribs. (Wikipedia, accessed 6/16/2020)
