“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.”
