Hanover C.H.
Aug 15th 1862
My Dear Brother
Tomorrow I begin operations in another field, & bid good bye to Old
Hanover with its warm hearts and dear firesides for some time.
Finding a horse that suited me admirable the other day I took the
liberty of drawing again on Stuart Buchanan & Co at 10 days sight,
for $350. I saw Gov Letcher after his return, he was pleased with
his visit and spoke of having dined with you. I trust you will
soon hear of the defeat & annihilation of Pope. Dr Price
treated us with remarkable kindness, which I can never forget.
Give much love to ours.
Your aff. brother
J.E.B.Stuart
