Page 129: 1862 May 10 ElthamYesterday I was placed in charge of the head quarter’s baggage and arrived at this place with it about four o’clock p.m. The roads were beautiful and the country is the very finest that I ever saw in Virginia. I am writing this in the large country home of Mr. R. J. Lacy who is undoubtedly in Richmond or further to the South. It is an old residence—probably one hundred and fifty years. The rooms are large and airy. We have our head quarters established in the front yard, Genl. Franklin occupying the house. |
