July 19 1863 My Dear Carrie, I reached here yesterday- found everything quiet and moving along just as when I left. Health generally good. We have no news here of importance. Rebel papers received here yesterday are very desponding, they say Port Hud- son has fallen, that Charleston they fear must fall; and they know nothing about Lee, have no communication with him. The rebellion is evidently drawing to a close. The weather here is warm and showery. I am enjoying excellent Health. Enclosed I send you Photograph of Gen Wessell (General Henry W. Wessells), it is not a good picture, it is copied. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/dd68015930a54aeb77b8f72fb88b2594.jpg 10ee4eb85ee7f62948bf80d17115ef2f PDF Text Text I hope you are all enjoying good health, and have got over the “big scare”.
