re: Blanchard writes about how "Gen Hooker got whiped the Boys are feeling down hearted." He also writes about his view on the Confederate cause, saying that he would rather let the rebels have their rights than be led by inept Generals. He also mentions Sergeant Davis's wife who came to see her injured husband, but became sick and died shortly after her arrival.
