General John H Cocke
Dear Sir
I find it neces
=sary to go to Fredericksburg in order
to get the papers fixed so I can
get my Comd. consequently will
be detained longer than I expe
=cted, hope however to get back
next Thursday morning.
The chief clerk to the Sect of
War says I will have no dif
-iculty in getting the Comd.
It is reported here that
the Yankees have crossed the
Rappahannock and a fight is
expected hourly. No other
news of importance, there is
no rush as far as I can learn
[page 2]
about recognition,
Very Respectfully Yr. obt Sevt.
