My darling wife
We are on the
Charles City road about 3
miles from Richmond and
just to think I am so near
you without the power of
seeing you--How long we
will stay here or where we
will go to I have'nt the

stay here a day or two--I

the neighborhood--if you

only knew how anxious I
am to see you, you would
try your best.
with much love and very
anxious to see you, I am
Your devoted husband
I wrote to you this morning
before we left our last
stopping place
unsigned letter of Howe Peyton Cochran of the 1st Va. Artillery
MSS 9380
