Thanks for the bolt of cloth that Aaron sent, but maintains that he has enough clothes and that it would have been better used for the children. Hopes that Sherman "...will at last be outgeneralled & that his army will be entirely destroyed,...[and] that Grant will fail before Richmond...so we will have peace." Adds that Early continues to make up lost ground and push Sheridan even more. Written at the Confederate States Naval Hospital
