Sadly, I was not in Virginia with the troops at the time of the battle. I heard the news through messenger, for I was on my way to Washington. It is horrible to hear of the defeat, but even worse to hear of the deaths of many more. To think that so many will not return home simply reminds me why I help and why I follow the Union. Too bad for Gen. Jackson though; to be shot by one's own, what a shame.
