Winchester Va 1862 abt Mar 1
My Dear Wife -
I intended to have
written to you to day but have just
received orders to march – not
known where. We have been
expecting a fight here for some
days but it seems all expectation
& no reality. I will write
again very soon – no more
time now.
Ever Yours
E F Paxton
[The above letter is not included in Civil War Letters of Frank “Bull” Paxton.]
Elisha Franklin "Bull" Paxton, University of Virginia alumnus and Confederate general; commanded the 27th Virginia Infantry and later the 1st "Stonewall" Brigade.
