P.S. Thank you for remembrance at the throne
of grace. Health just tolerable. A Lt.
just now in my room from 2^d Corps says
the troops are all in good spirits and
confident of success. His corps are at
Thoroughfare Gap—other corps are beyond while
6^th Corps are with Hooker at Fairfax. The
fighting yesterday as he came along was
in the vicinity of Aldie.
Now will work for the holy day.
