he wrote her last from Winchester shortly after our arrival there, giving you an account of our
march and proceedings up to that time. Since then we have undergone and almost incredible
amount of hardship. We stayed at Winchester two days after taking the place and then
proceeded to Charles Town and Harper's Ferry. they found a few of the enemy at Charles
Town, but soon drove them down to the Ferry, where they made a stand having been largely
re-enforced from Washington & elsewhere. -

In reply to your letter of the 7th ult. permit me to say that Col. S.V. Fulkerson was an officer of
distinguished worth. he deeply felt his death. He rendered valuable service to his country, and
had he lived, would probably have been recommended by me before this time for a brigadier
generalcy. So far as my knowledge extends, he enjoyed the confidence of his regiment and all
who knew him.
