1861
Dear Carter,
I am currently a military adviser to president Jefferson Davis. I have just received word on our victory at Manassas. Thomas Jackson held the middle with his Virginia boys like a stone wall.
And when those greenhorn Federals met just a little resistance they turned tail and ran. It ended in a rout with the leading southern general Beauregard emerging victorious. I also learned that the north has appointed a new general in chief, McClellan.
Take care of Mary for me while I am away, it looks like it will be a long war.
Your Brother,
Robert
