We arrived here yesterday at Col. Larue's and \"we may stay a week, and we may stay longer.\" We left Pa very well, though somewhat fatigued with the harvest. He has finished, and uncle Robert expected to get done yetserday. they have splendid crops. The enemy's pickets were at Kearneysville, and Walper's Crossroads, so we thought we had better leave the neighborhood. I have not seen Brother for a day or two, the last time I saw him, he said he felt better than he had done since he had been sick. He is riding his colt, and takes a great deal of exercise. My colt is a perfect little beauty. Pa says its the prettiest colt in the county, and three or four persons want to buy it. \nI hope you will write, and give us an accurate account of the fight at Buchanan. We were alarmed at first, on your account, at that truthful [underline] paper the \"Sun,\" said Wise's brigade was all cut to pieces. Our Enquirer did not come, and I only heard of the statement it made from Mr. Stronick. I understood from him that Gen. Wise was slightly wounded. I hope he is not seriously wounded. \nCousin Emeline is staying at the river, and cousin Sarah, Tex and Ellie and myself, are all here together. If necessary we are to be moved somwhere else. We are delighted with the place. Col. and Mrs. L. are very kind indeed, and we feel quite at home here already. His son is an invalid at present and is at home recruiting. Josephine Grantham, and Mrs. L's aunt are also here, and last but by no means least (in his own estimation) a young widower Mr Beck; and his little boy. \nI suppose you ahve heard of our fight in Berkeley. Col. Harper's regiment and Cap. Pendleton's artillery Co. in all 380 men were overtaken by the enemy 15000 in number, and after killing about 250, and taking 59 prisoners (who are now in the Winchester jail) retreated in good order with the loss of 2 killed and 11 wounded,none of our acquaintances. Col. Ashby, with 19 nineteen men only, killed 19 of the enemy and routed the rest (they had 65 in all, in a skirmish sometime ago) but Richard Ashby his brother was badly wounded, and has since died. I dare say I am giving you no news, but unless you have seen Gen. Johnson's report, you might hardly credit such an extraordinary victory on our side. The \"Sun\" gives Patterson's official report in which he says they defeated Johnson's whole army with the loss of 2 or 3 on their side, \u0026 1300 on ours. Cap. Avis acquired great credit for his bravery on the occasion. Gen. Jackson commanded our troops.
