Abby Howland Woolsey to her sister, Georgeanna.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9th, 1863.
Charley sends his ” regrets ” from Headquarters for the Bond wedding. We get his letters with wonderful despatch. A letter written Saturday night delivered here by twelve on Monday! General Williams had reached Falmouth again and will be very busy. The four grand divisions being abolished, the eight corps commanders report directly to Hooker, which doubles the work of his A. A. G. Charley is to have an office tent and one branch of the business to be assigned specially to him. General Williams will employ several such aides or clerks. . . .
I have ordered for you ten copies of the Independent for three months, ten of the Methodist and ten of the Advocate. . . .
