Dear Major --
I sent your communication to
the General yesterday evening--he asks me
to tell you he thinks you had better
wait a little while before handing in
your application for leave & see what
action is taken upon Mr Cosbys [?] case--
it is not likely that General Lee will
make any changes--of course you are
well[?] assured[?] that Gen Johnston will
give you any assistance in his power
he feels very weak this morning.
Very truly
L M Johnston
June 11th 1862--
Lydia McLane Johnston, 1822-1887, wife of wounded Confederate General Joseph
E. Johnston to Major Alfred M. Barbour, 1829-1866, Quartermaster and aide to
Johnston.
