I hope it has not been lost for it was a long one and I wanted you to see how I spent my Christmas. Mother it has been so long since I wrote that I guess you have been uneasy about me again thinking I might be sick.  Quite to the contrary, for the last weeks I have been having a good time skating. The river was frozen over beautifully for miles. As we were not doing any studying, the Examination being past over. We were all allowed to go. I wish you could have seen the river. It looked like a flock of black birds was on it. I never saw boys seem to enjoy themselves more. Could play [bandy], fox \u0026 goose and many other games to afford us amusement. Sandie P. \u0026 Sisters \u0026 some other ladies were down to see us. Sandy seemed to be a very awkward skater and would get some pretty falls sometimes which added to my fun. I think he is stuck up quite much. I haven't spoken to him yet. I attended Church this morning. Saw his wife there, do not think she is pretty. The [G]  has only preached for us once since he came here, but gave us an excellent sermon then. I suppose in this Peach has reached Orange \u0026 [camp]. He called to see me one evening and only remained about half an hour, promised he would come again the day after and said I must have a letter for him to take home for me, but he never made his appearance. I stayed from church hoping to see him \u0026 show him the VMI sights. He was staying out in the country about three miles. Wanted me to go with him but could not do so. I never saw a boy so changed in my life. Had a little beard and then he was dressed in real soldier style. I don't think I should have known him had I seen him in a crowd. He said himself Geo. M had been having a good time out in the country for 18 days. Really glad they have gotten furloughs for they have both been good soldiers and deserve them. Hope they may be able to reach home. Mr. M seemed somewhat taken with poor Lewis Williams old flame Miss Darden. Wilson Newman called to see me a few days ago. And going from his looks, I think the army must agree with him. Am glad our Orange boys are all so pleasantly stationed. Mother tell Champ to write what has become of [Mr. G]. I feel so sorry for him. Doubtless in this you have received my report and have been worried about the way I have wasted my time \u0026 gotten demerits etc. in the last six months. Myself as well as many others have done but little studying. We have lost about one and a half months going out of these plagued marches and still Old Spex hasn't made a single allowance in the examination and I would not be surprised if there are not 150 cadets shipped soon for being unjustly unjustly found deficient, some over 18, and others for demerits. 15 were shipped yesterday, one of my roommates goes [__] tomorrow, for demerits. Spex a grand old scoundrel coins money by this as most of them have made their deposits which is $600. I think you must not be surprised to see me at any time as my number of demerits is past one hundred, though most of them I got for over staying furlough, and may yet be removed. I shall write to brother in a day or two for money to pay what I owe to Old Spex. Mother to give you an idea what sort of person Gen. S. is after our return from our last march, the government sent up 300 pairs of shoes for the Cadets as presents or to pay for our own that we wore out and now Gen. S. will not let a Cadet have a pair if he has gotten shoes from the Institute within the last 6 month, and if a Cadet is shipped before he can get them, they fall in Spex's hands, who furnishes all his darkeys with a good pair. I shall try hard to get mine, tho' don't expect to wear them, they are course army shoes worth at the present prices 30 or 40 dollars. I have a pair I bought before I went on the march that will do me, so I shall keep mine (if I get them) for Henry, unless he is well supplied. Mother you recollect the box I was so concerned about, it made it to us, after being on the way only 19 days. Although the things were rather old \u0026 stale, yet everything went good even the turkey. I tell you we were not a long time emptying the box. We were all very agreeably surprised yesterday by the receipt of another box for one of our roommates. It contained a splendid ham, two elegant rich cakes  and any quantity of little molasses cakes, sausages, molasses, apples, etc. I never enjoyed anything more. I certainly did justice to it myself. I hope Mr. L has laid in a good supply of provisions. How does Eliza do now. Hope she may not give you all troubles. I can imagine I see the difference in her cooking \u0026 aunt Phoebe's, and hear you complain. Well Mother you see I am 'bout run out for something to write about so I guess I had better stop altogether. You must excuse led pencil, I wrote with, is because I wanted to write fast (which the bad writing \u0026 mistakes will bear evidence of) in order to finish it without being interrupted by any roll call. It seems to me I now commence a letter but what I am called of by the tap of the drum to attend some call. It is really worrying. Well Mother, I shall prepare myself to receive a good scholding [sic] from you soon. You must not be too hard upon me, [phrase unclear] made to stay here for my own good, but at the same time greatly against my will. And now with love to all and a due portion for your darling self,\nI am as ever yr affect\nSon J. B. S.","Written from VMI, Lexington, Virginia.

I stayed from church hoping to see him \u0026amp; show him the VMI sights. He was staying out in the country about three miles. Wanted me to go with him but could not do so. I never saw a boy so changed in my life. Had a little beard and then he was dressed in real soldier style. I don't think I should have known him had I seen him in a crowd. He said himself Geo. M had been having a good time out in the country for 18 days. Really glad they have gotten furloughs for they have both been good soldiers and deserve them. Hope they may be able to reach home. Mr. M seemed somewhat taken with poor Lewis Williams old flame Miss Darden. Wilson Newman called to see me a few days ago. And going from his looks, I think the army must agree with him. Am glad our Orange boys are all so pleasantly stationed. Mother tell Champ to write what has become of [Mr. G]. I feel so sorry for him. Doubtless in this you have received my report and have been worried about the way I have wasted my time \u0026amp; gotten demerits etc. in the last six months. Myself as well as many others have done but little studying. We have lost about one and a half months going out of these plagued marches and still Old Spex hasn't made a single allowance in the examination and I would not be surprised if there are not 150 cadets shipped soon for being unjustly unjustly found deficient, some over 18, and others for demerits. 15 were shipped yesterday, one of my roommates goes [__] tomorrow, for demerits. Spex a grand old scoundrel coins money by this as most of them have made their deposits which is $600. I think you must not be surprised to see me at any time as my number of demerits is past one hundred, though most of them I got for over staying furlough, and may yet be removed. I shall write to brother in a day or two for money to pay what I owe to Old Spex. Mother to give you an idea what sort of person Gen. S. is after our return from our last march, the government sent up 300 pairs of shoes for the Cadets as presents or to pay for our own that we wore out and now Gen. S. will not let a Cadet have a pair if he has gotten shoes from the Institute within the last 6 month, and if a Cadet is shipped before he can get them, they fall in Spex's hands, who furnishes all his darkeys with a good pair. I shall try hard to get mine, tho' don't expect to wear them, they are course army shoes worth at the present prices 30 or 40 dollars. I have a pair I bought before I went on the march that will do me, so I shall keep mine (if I get them) for Henry, unless he is well supplied. Mother you recollect the box I was so concerned about, it made it to us, after being on the way only 19 days. Although the things were rather old \u0026amp; stale, yet everything went good even the turkey. I tell you we were not a long time emptying the box. We were all very agreeably surprised yesterday by the receipt of another box for one of our roommates. It contained a splendid ham, two elegant rich cakes  and any quantity of little molasses cakes, sausages, molasses, apples, etc. I never enjoyed anything more. I certainly did justice to it myself. I hope Mr. L has laid in a good supply of provisions. How does Eliza do now. Hope she may not give you all troubles. I can imagine I see the difference in her cooking \u0026amp; aunt Phoebe's, and hear you complain. Well Mother you see I am 'bout run out for something to write about so I guess I had better stop altogether. You must excuse led pencil, I wrote with, is because I wanted to write fast (which the bad writing \u0026amp; mistakes will bear evidence of) in order to finish it without being interrupted by any roll call. It seems to me I now commence a letter but what I am called of by the tap of the drum to attend some call. It is really worrying. Well Mother, I shall prepare myself to receive a good scholding [sic] from you soon. You must not be too hard upon me, [phrase unclear] made to stay here for my own good, but at the same time greatly against my will. And now with love to all and a due portion for your darling self,\u003cbr\u003e\nI am as ever yr affect\u003cbr\u003e\nSon J. B.

Well dear Mother I will give you a few of my reasons which I hope will prove satisfactory. In the first place, after reaching Staunton and trotting around some time in search of Mr. G whom I succeeded in finding at last, and it then being too late for me to procure a seat on the stage. Mr. G begged me so very hard to remain over with him until the next day that I at last concluded to do so, knowing that one day longer would make no difference. I left Staunton about 4 ½ Wednesday morning and after a very pleasant trip (Having met with 3 or 4 Cadets returning) reached my old prison house at 1 p.m. and to my surprise found the Corps had left the evening before to reinforce Jackson. I then began to regret and censor myself very much for stopping over in Staun- but about the time we were ready, one of the Officers came in and said the Yankees had fallen back and that the Corps was then on the way back to the Institute after having marched to Staunton Goshen. We then thought after that information that it would be a piece of folly in us to start to meet them in coming back. I felt quite lonesome there being only a few Rats left as a guard. I staid down with Capt. B and made myself at home. He seemed very glad at having me back. And yesterday evening they all returned, broken down, sore footed and quite mad that they were not permitted to go on and engage the enemy. Jackson was very anxious expecially[sic] for the company of artillery to come on and join him, but Old Spex had not the authority to take the Corps out of the County, but had to fight them any when in Rockbridge in defense of the Institute. I am not delighted that I did not get here in time since it has proven such a useless \u0026 fatiguing march. I was on guard last night tho' not compelled, only did so to relieve some of the broken down who would have had to have gone on. I could not help contrasting \u0026 feeling the difference between my bed last night \u0026 the one I have been enjoying for the last month. Just imagine me in the guard quarters on the hard floor and in among a parcel of rats, minks, chickens, lice, etc. and then with my accoutrements all on, I tell you what taking everything into consideration I did not have my pleasant time, but it is all over now, and I hope it may not happen again. I am all OK. We will move into barracks next Monday or Tuesday when I will have a much easier time. I have not seen Old Spex yet to give him the letter. I expect he will be for court marshaling me. I was much worried at having to leave them all so hurriedly at the Village the morning I left. The plagued men at the provost office were the cause of it, they were so very slow. I only had time to kiss them \u0026 tell them all goodbye. Was Annie married on the next morning, I hope not since I could not see it. Tell Sister M to make up some excuse to give Mrs [Miss?] [H?] for not coming to see her again. I suppose every thing still remains quiet and there is no chance of the army leaving you. Has Miss E \u0026 Co. come to board with you yet. You all must write and give me all the news. I have no time to ask questions. I want this to be mailed this eve and it is near time for it to close. I had an elegant time in Staunton which I suppose Bird had written before this. Church did not get me the pillow after all. Get it from him and send it by S_ Hiden, also that knap sack Sam G. gave. You recollect I guess a new one. Tell Felix he had better sell me his cadet overcoat. Well dear mother I have not time to write more but will take time \u0026 write a more satisfactory letter soon. Excuse all mistakes \u0026 bad writing. Show it to no one but burn it. Give my love all inquiring friends. Tell McGuire I desire his letters. With love to all friends I must now bid you goodbye. Kiss the children and Old Sal if she is with you. Write soon \u0026 often to your affect.\nboy Bev.","Send me the Buffingtons letters if you get any. Their brother is here.

I then began to regret and censor myself very much for stopping over in Staun- but about the time we were ready, one of the Officers came in and said the Yankees had fallen back and that the Corps was then on the way back to the Institute after having marched to Staunton Goshen. We then thought after that information that it would be a piece of folly in us to start to meet them in coming back. I felt quite lonesome there being only a few Rats left as a guard. I staid down with Capt. B and made myself at home. He seemed very glad at having me back. And yesterday evening they all returned, broken down, sore footed and quite mad that they were not permitted to go on and engage the enemy. Jackson was very anxious expecially[sic] for the company of artillery to come on and join him, but Old Spex had not the authority to take the Corps out of the County, but had to fight them any when in Rockbridge in defense of the Institute. I am not delighted that I did not get here in time since it has proven such a useless \u0026 fatiguing march. I was on guard last night tho' not compelled, only did so to relieve some of the broken down who would have had to have gone on. I could not help contrasting \u0026 feeling the difference between my bed last night \u0026 the one I have been enjoying for the last month. Just imagine me in the guard quarters on the hard floor and in among a parcel of rats, minks, chickens, lice, etc. and then with my accoutrements all on, I tell you what taking everything into consideration I did not have my pleasant time, but it is all over now, and I hope it may not happen again. I am all OK. We will move into barracks next Monday or Tuesday when I will have a much easier time. I have not seen Old Spex yet to give him the letter. I expect he will be for court marshaling me. I was much worried at having to leave them all so hurriedly at the Village the morning I left. The plagued men at the provost office were the cause of it, they were so very slow. I only had time to kiss them \u0026 tell them all goodbye. Was Annie married on the next morning, I hope not since I could not see it. Tell Sister M to make up some excuse to give Mrs [Miss?] [H?] for not coming to see her again. I suppose every thing still remains quiet and there is no chance of the army leaving you. Has Miss E \u0026 Co. come to board with you yet. You all must write and give me all the news. I have no time to ask questions. I want this to be mailed this eve and it is near time for it to close. I had an elegant time in Staunton which I suppose Bird had written before this. Church did not get me the pillow after all. Get it from him and send it by S_ Hiden, also that knap sack Sam G. gave. You recollect I guess a new one. Tell Felix he had better sell me his cadet overcoat. Well dear mother I have not time to write more but will take time \u0026 write a more satisfactory letter soon. Excuse all mistakes \u0026 bad writing. Show it to no one but burn it. Give my love all inquiring friends. Tell McGuire I desire his letters. With love to all friends I must now bid you goodbye. Kiss the children and Old Sal if she is with you. Write soon \u0026 often to your affect.\nboy Bev.","Send me the Buffingtons letters if you get any. Their brother is here.

Well dear Mother we reached our journeys end Monday evening and nar'e Yankee did we kill or see after marching us all over this plagued mountainous country and ruining our feet we being badly shod at the time. But thank gracious, there were none seriously hurt by the trip, and now since they have had a little rest would be willing to start out on another, provided they were carried in some other direction than that of Goshen \u0026 Covington, for both of these routs every boy seems disgusted with. And it is a enough to despair anyone for you look upon nothing but huge mountains of rocks the whole way. Once in every ten miles by accident we would pass an old dilapidated looking building. I believe I mentioned in my other letter what a wet time we had of it while at Camp Staunton near Goshen. Although we were so near drowned, yet there was no grumbling, quite the contrary the boys were hollering \u0026 singing the whole time. I wish you could have heard us when a train came up to Goshen whistling \u0026 the bell ringing. I believe every boy joined in a thundering shout which reached throughout the surrounding mountains. It reminded us all so much of home \u0026 especially those who had been here so long without having a furlough that I do believe if the Yankees had been near and we been ordered to keep quiet we could not have resisted the temptation to give vent to our joy at such a pleasant sound. When we left here we thought we were going to Staunton. I took some collars along in case we should, and when I heard this train I could not but help thinking it was coming to take us there and I had made up my mind if we were got that near home I would work my [?] so as to go the whole hog. But alas! There was no such good luck for poor me. I was doomed to be disappointed. The train only came to bring a bearer of dispatches. We laid in our mud puddles until evening when the tap of the drum bid us prepare for marching. There were all sorts of rumors a float before we left camp, some said the Yankees were near Lex. and we had to march there that night a distance of 22 miles. Others said we were going to Covin. but we were all surprised when Col. Ship [Shipp] marched us up to Cool Sulphur Springs to quarter us in the cabins there for the night. Before we reached there we had to wade through mud \u0026 water a foot deep for near ten miles. We managed to build us up a little fire and dry our blankets. There was a still house at this place and every boy got enough to drink to make him sleep and to keep him from taking cold. In fact the majority of the boys were quite merry. I took a little swig Though not enough to make me feel the effects of it. Stanard Buffington had his canteen full and was looking all about for me. Expect if he had found me I should have been tipsy also for I did not think it any [harm] that night. Buffington is a splendid boy. On the next morning we set out for Lex. it had ceased raining and we had a beautiful day before us for marching, but the roads were so bad and the streams we had to pass over so swollen that we did not go more than 12 miles to Wilson Spring before we stopped over again for the night, and slept in some old darkey cabins. Although it was very [quite struck out] cold I had a very good night's rest. While were here Col. Ship received a dispatch from Old Spex (who said in his order before we left he would [?]over [?]) who was then at Lex enjoying the pleasures of home comforts) ordering us hurry back as quick as possible. We had to go in the direction of Buchanan. So we left next morning early \u0026 reach here at 11 ½ although the roads were so bad we marched 4 ¼ miles in one hour. We had orders after reached here. Mother I send with my coat a pair of pants for Henry. I wore them on the last march you will observe that they have seen hard times after mending the seat they will be made a good pair pants by having them turned. I send also a shirt which I could find no owner for and it is too large for me. You can dispose of it as you like. What do you think of the bill in reference to currency. I hope it may prove of some good for money seems to be worthless. Confederate I meant. Suppose Emma Chapman will be married soon. I would like to be present to get some of the good things. Of course they will have a big wedding. Is cousin Vic going down South to see Annie. I heard she was. I was down at Capt. Bull's yesterday. He read me a letter he had just gotten from Mary. You have no idea what a good letter she writes. It would really surprise you to read one. I hope she may pay them a visit here this spring. I would like to see her. Mrs. Powers has gotten back. I promised to kill her some birds, so if it does not rain, shall go out tomorrow. The weather has moderated a good deal today and I am truly glad of it for it was so very cold two or three days ago that I like to have frozen. Well dear Mother, I have written you quite a long letter, and I think all the news, so I must again bid you goodbye or good night rather.\nBev.","P.S. Make some of the family write me soon \u0026 often. You will find in my coat a rough sketch of Charleston \u0026 Vicinity which I drew for amusement.

Well dear Mother we reached our journeys end Monday evening and nar'e Yankee did we kill or see after marching us all over this plagued mountainous country and ruining our feet we being badly shod at the time. But thank gracious, there were none seriously hurt by the trip, and now since they have had a little rest would be willing to start out on another, provided they were carried in some other direction than that of Goshen \u0026amp; Covington, for both of these routs every boy seems disgusted with. And it is a enough to despair anyone for you look upon nothing but huge mountains of rocks the whole way. Once in every ten miles by accident we would pass an old dilapidated looking building. I believe I mentioned in my other letter what a wet time we had of it while at Camp Staunton near Goshen. Although we were so near drowned, yet there was no grumbling, quite the contrary the boys were hollering \u0026amp; singing the whole time. I wish you could have heard us when a train came up to Goshen whistling \u0026amp; the bell ringing. I believe every boy joined in a thundering shout which reached throughout the surrounding mountains. It reminded us all so much of home \u0026amp; especially those who had been here so long without having a furlough that I do believe if the Yankees had been near and we been ordered to keep quiet we could not have resisted the temptation to give vent to our joy at such a pleasant sound. When we left here we thought we were going to Staunton. I took some collars along in case we should, and when I heard this train I could not but help thinking it was coming to take us there and I had made up my mind if we were got that near home I would work my [?] so as to go the whole hog. But alas! There was no such good luck for poor me. I was doomed to be disappointed. The train only came to bring a bearer of dispatches. We laid in our mud puddles until evening when the tap of the drum bid us prepare for marching. There were all sorts of rumors a float before we left camp, some said the Yankees were near Lex. and we had to march there that night a distance of 22 miles. Others said we were going to Covin. but we were all surprised when Col. Ship [Shipp] marched us up to Cool Sulphur Springs to quarter us in the cabins there for the night. Before we reached there we had to wade through mud \u0026amp; water a foot deep for near ten miles. We managed to build us up a little fire and dry our blankets. There was a still house at this place and every boy got enough to drink to make him sleep and to keep him from taking cold. In fact the majority of the boys were quite merry. I took a little swig Though not enough to make me feel the effects of it. Stanard Buffington had his canteen full and was looking all about for me. Expect if he had found me I should have been tipsy also for I did not think it any [harm] that night. Buffington is a splendid boy. On the next morning we set out for Lex. it had ceased raining and we had a beautiful day before us for marching, but the roads were so bad and the streams we had to pass over so swollen that we did not go more than 12 miles to Wilson Spring before we stopped over again for the night, and slept in some old darkey cabins. Although it was very [quite struck out] cold I had a very good night's rest. While were here Col. Ship received a dispatch from Old Spex (who said in his order before we left he would [?]over [?]) who was then at Lex enjoying the pleasures of home comforts) ordering us hurry back as quick as possible. We had to go in the direction of Buchanan. So we left next morning early \u0026amp; reach here at 11 ½ although the roads were so bad we marched 4 ¼ miles in one hour. We had orders after reached here. Mother I send with my coat a pair of pants for Henry. I wore them on the last march you will observe that they have seen hard times after mending the seat they will be made a good pair pants by having them turned. I send also a shirt which I could find no owner for and it is too large for me. You can dispose of it as you like. What do you think of the bill in reference to currency. I hope it may prove of some good for money seems to be worthless. Confederate I meant. Suppose Emma Chapman will be married soon. I would like to be present to get some of the good things. Of course they will have a big wedding. Is cousin Vic going down South to see Annie. I heard she was. I was down at Capt. Bull's yesterday. He read me a letter he had just gotten from Mary. You have no idea what a good letter she writes. It would really surprise you to read one. I hope she may pay them a visit here this spring. I would like to see her. Mrs. Powers has gotten back. I promised to kill her some birds, so if it does not rain, shall go out tomorrow. The weather has moderated a good deal today and I am truly glad of it for it was so very cold two or three days ago that I like to have frozen.

I now write to demand an explination for such treatment. Upon the receipt of my box I wrote Sister Fan a long letter thanking her \u0026 c. Prior to that time I wrote Champe and I certainly expected by this time to have a few lines (at least) from one of them as they well know how anxious I was to hear from Bob \u0026 Mollie whom I suppose are with you at present. My letter to Fan was sent by Young McCown, who brought my box. I suppose he is reliable. Is the son of a Saddler in Lexington. Well Mother I guess you will wonder why it is, that I am writing with a lead pencil. The reason is first this, we are upon the eve of freezing up. It has been one week since we had a particle of heat (there not being a stick of wood at the V.M.I.) You know what a change has taken place in the weather. Today it is snowing hard, and a cold wind blowing, and still we are having the same duties to attend to, both academic \u0026 military. It is outrageous for the boys can't study a bit. I wish you could step in and take a peep at us. It got so cold we could not stand it any longer. So we call the roommates and went out and made a raid on Old Spex laths and have built us up some sort of a fire and are all gathered around like a gang of chickens under its mothers wing. If the officers of the day should by chance visit our room and catch us we would get a hard report and a few demerits. Peach came by here on last Saturday morning to see me, has just returned from Ark. Martin and one of his friends were taken prisoners. The day he stopped over to see me, Ex. Gov. Letcher made a very fine speech, also Judge Brockenbrough. So we went up and heard them. Both were very encouraging and thought the war would not last a year longer. In the evening I walked out in the country with him to get his horse. I came back, but he staid[sic] with one of his company friends until yesterday when he called to see me again on his way to Orange. I guess he will get home before this letter and tell you all you would like to hear about me and about his trip, so I will leave it for him to do. Mother you think I didn't sit down and write Cousin Vic a long letter a few days ago. Felt so interested about her. Hope she will condescend to reply to it. Suppose Bob had gone to his command ere this. What is his rank, and what is that of Gen. Long? Gen. Smith got a letter a few days ago from some gentleman over towards Hot Springs, who had, I believe, been in Gen. Averil's Camp and says Averil is preparing to make a raid in this direction. He advised Spex to fortify all the mountain passes, which he is going to do. Major Williamson \u0026 two of the Cadets left this morning to make a survey. I suppose we will have to go the last of the week to first of next. We will have the fortification to build ourselves. Is this what I was sent here for, to shovel with the spade \u0026 dig with the hoe for the protection of Rockbridge Negroes? This is the reason in which our studies are to be interfered with of[f] \u0026 on this Spring \u0026 Summer and I think you had just as well give your consent at once to my resigning and entering the Army. I want to have some of the glory of the [trenches] in the year 64 attached to my name, and this war can't last much longer it is certain, and it will be my only chance. Are you not willing to have it said you had a son in this war? I was down at Mrs. Bulls the other night, spent a very pleasant evening. The Capt's duck was there. He (the Capt.) is one of my best friends, and is very kind to me as well as the other members of the family.\n[This part written in the margins of pages 2 and 3] \nAs is so cold I shall have to stop writing, with the hope of getting a letter, certain this eve. I shall write again the last of the week. Hope you are all well. How is Mollie looking? Write me a long letter soon giving me all the news. With much love to all the family, yourself amongst them.

I now write to demand an explination for such treatment. Upon the receipt of my box I wrote Sister Fan a long letter thanking her \u0026 c. Prior to that time I wrote Champe and I certainly expected by this time to have a few lines (at least) from one of them as they well know how anxious I was to hear from Bob \u0026 Mollie whom I suppose are with you at present. My letter to Fan was sent by Young McCown, who brought my box. I suppose he is reliable. Is the son of a Saddler in Lexington. Well Mother I guess you will wonder why it is, that I am writing with a lead pencil. The reason is first this, we are upon the eve of freezing up. It has been one week since we had a particle of heat (there not being a stick of wood at the V.M.I.) You know what a change has taken place in the weather. Today it is snowing hard, and a cold wind blowing, and still we are having the same duties to attend to, both academic \u0026 military. It is outrageous for the boys can't study a bit. I wish you could step in and take a peep at us. It got so cold we could not stand it any longer. So we call the roommates and went out and made a raid on Old Spex laths and have built us up some sort of a fire and are all gathered around like a gang of chickens under its mothers wing. If the officers of the day should by chance visit our room and catch us we would get a hard report and a few demerits. Peach came by here on last Saturday morning to see me, has just returned from Ark. Martin and one of his friends were taken prisoners. The day he stopped over to see me, Ex. Gov. Letcher made a very fine speech, also Judge Brockenbrough. So we went up and heard them. Both were very encouraging and thought the war would not last a year longer. In the evening I walked out in the country with him to get his horse. I came back, but he staid[sic] with one of his company friends until yesterday when he called to see me again on his way to Orange. I guess he will get home before this letter and tell you all you would like to hear about me and about his trip, so I will leave it for him to do. Mother you think I didn't sit down and write Cousin Vic a long letter a few days ago. Felt so interested about her. Hope she will condescend to reply to it. Suppose Bob had gone to his command ere this. What is his rank, and what is that of Gen. Long? Gen. Smith got a letter a few days ago from some gentleman over towards Hot Springs, who had, I believe, been in Gen. Averil's Camp and says Averil is preparing to make a raid in this direction. He advised Spex to fortify all the mountain passes, which he is going to do. Major Williamson \u0026 two of the Cadets left this morning to make a survey.

April the 24th 1864","My darling Mother\nYour long and interesting letter has been received and I have been intending for the last two or three days to answer it, but something has always interfered and prevented my good intentions. You say that you had begun to get uneasy at my silence, for fear I might be sick. Why I wrote two or three letters home but a very short time ago. I can't imagine what became of them. I seems to me that I am always writing home but very seldom get letters from there myself. You all are not as good about writing as you ought to be. I am not alluding to you but to the other members of the family. I have not as yet heard a word from Hay and the $9.00. Am going to drop him a few lines this evening. I am dead broke at present, wish the check would hurry up and make its appearance. Had to borrow some money the other night to go up town and get some thing to eat. They are starving us out now. Don't give us half enough bread, miserable rye coffee without sugar or milk (and it has caused an eruption to break out on a good many of the Cadets, I believe it is a prison) and for the last two weeks they have been giving us nothing but rotten beef. I declare it is perfectly awful. Old Spex has some 50 or 60 barrels of it put away and will keep feeing us on it. An old scamp, he has about ten or eleven barrels of molasses and won't give us any. All the cadets are grumbling and asking him for it. I am glad to hear Bob has improved so much and is so well please with his place. Didn't I tell you he would be. Hope he is up near [home] now. Mother you ask me why I don't call Mollie Sister when I write. I was not aware before that I failed to do so. It was thoughtlessness on my part I can assure her and not for the want of love that I did not make use of sister instead of Mollie. Why I am sure my letters to her have always been very affectionate. I hope she will banish all idea that I meant anything by my manner of writing. Well Mother every body (or Cadet at least) has been right much excited today to join in the coming battle. You need not be surprised if I am one, if they raise a company I shall join. Remember I will be 19 on the 27th of this month and ought to be ashamed of myself to be here. When you are advised to keep me here as long as possible, people don't know my age, and of course they would not tell you they thought I ought to be in the army. They are going to take us in service I expect in July out in the mountains here. But I prefer being with Lee. Mother I don't want to desert or be shipped from here against your wish, therefore I beg that you will write me permission to resign, and I can then use my own discretion whether I will or not. If you give your consent, mention that it is concerned with family matters (except name) that prevents your sending me here longer. Mother I hope you will not let what I have written distress you. You should be more firm and patriotic and want me to be in the army, but this is an unnatural feeling for an affectionate Mother like yourself. When is the big fight to come off. Is there any chance of its taking place in Orange. I think the Yankees are going to get the worst whipping that they have ever gotten, and it will almost wind up the war. If Lee whips them, he ought to follow up his victory and drive them as far North as he can, the same time burning all their cities. Well dear Mother I have written you quite a long letter, and one I have no doubt you will be sorry to see. The mail will be taken up in a short while, so I shall have to bring my letter to a close. Wish I had something interesting to write about, and now darling Mother with love to all the family and oceans to your sweet self I must bid you good evening. Hoping what I have written will not cause you trouble and that I will soon hear from you\nI am as ever your\nown darling boy\nBev.","I am in want of draws.","Written from VMI, Lexington, Virginia.

April the 24th 1864","My darling Mother\nYour long and interesting letter has been received and I have been intending for the last two or three days to answer it, but something has always interfered and prevented my good intentions. You say that you had begun to get uneasy at my silence, for fear I might be sick. Why I wrote two or three letters home but a very short time ago. I can't imagine what became of them. I seems to me that I am always writing home but very seldom get letters from there myself. You all are not as good about writing as you ought to be. I am not alluding to you but to the other members of the family. I have not as yet heard a word from Hay and the $9.00. Am going to drop him a few lines this evening. I am dead broke at present, wish the check would hurry up and make its appearance. Had to borrow some money the other night to go up town and get some thing to eat. They are starving us out now. Don't give us half enough bread, miserable rye coffee without sugar or milk (and it has caused an eruption to break out on a good many of the Cadets, I believe it is a prison) and for the last two weeks they have been giving us nothing but rotten beef. I declare it is perfectly awful. Old Spex has some 50 or 60 barrels of it put away and will keep feeing us on it. An old scamp, he has about ten or eleven barrels of molasses and won't give us any. All the cadets are grumbling and asking him for it. I am glad to hear Bob has improved so much and is so well please with his place. Didn't I tell you he would be. Hope he is up near [home] now. Mother you ask me why I don't call Mollie Sister when I write. I was not aware before that I failed to do so. It was thoughtlessness on my part I can assure her and not for the want of love that I did not make use of sister instead of Mollie. Why I am sure my letters to her have always been very affectionate. I hope she will banish all idea that I meant anything by my manner of writing. Well Mother every body (or Cadet at least) has been right much excited today to join in the coming battle. You need not be surprised if I am one, if they raise a company I shall join. Remember I will be 19 on the 27th of this month and ought to be ashamed of myself to be here. When you are advised to keep me here as long as possible, people don't know my age, and of course they would not tell you they thought I ought to be in the army. They are going to take us in service I expect in July out in the mountains here. But I prefer being with Lee. Mother I don't want to desert or be shipped from here against your wish, therefore I beg that you will write me permission to resign, and I can then use my own discretion whether I will or not. If you give your consent, mention that it is concerned with family matters (except name) that prevents your sending me here longer. Mother I hope you will not let what I have written distress you. You should be more firm and patriotic and want me to be in the army, but this is an unnatural feeling for an affectionate Mother like yourself. When is the big fight to come off. Is there any chance of its taking place in Orange. I think the Yankees are going to get the worst whipping that they have ever gotten, and it will almost wind up the war. If Lee whips them, he ought to follow up his victory and drive them as far North as he can, the same time burning all their cities. Well dear Mother I have written you quite a long letter, and one I have no doubt you will be sorry to see. The mail will be taken up in a short while, so I shall have to bring my letter to a close. Wish I had something interesting to write about, and now darling Mother with love to all the family and oceans to your sweet self I must bid you good evening. Hoping what I have written will not cause you trouble and that I will soon hear from you\nI am as ever your\nown darling boy\nBev.","I am in want of draws."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eWritten from VMI, Lexington, Virginia.

But nevertheless, I shall wave all ceremony and endeavor to drop you a few and I fear very uninteresting lines for I honor you home folks so often with my letters that there must be a good deal of sameness in them. This remembering that this is one of the dullest \u0026 meanest places in Christendom that is in my estimation and also of a great many of my fellow Cadets. But I shall not waist[sic] my time by heaping abuse upon Lexington and the V.M.I. You are well aware of my hatred for them both. Before going farther, allow me dear Sister to give vent to my feelings by expressing my grateful thanks for the nice box of eatables which you sent me. I can assure you I have enjoyed them no little and done justice to the box as well as my roommates, who said that it was the best that had been received in No. 38 (my room) and I think we have gotten four since the first of January. We played fearful havoc with the turkey pies and cakes. Nothing now remains I am sorry to say, but my ham which I hope to enjoy for some days yet as it was such a fine one. We only eat this as a snack. Mr. S surely must believe they came out of that small box. I invited or had besides my roommates (five in number) three of four of my friends (S.B. among the no.) to help me eat and there was plenty for all, not withstanding the tremendous appetites of the Cadets are noted for. Fan, where did you get a turkey from?  I did not think there was such a thing left in the county of Orange. Why did you not keep it, also the ham. I had much rather you should have done so, for I know how scarce such things are with you since you have had the army among you so long. You ought not to have deprived yourself of it. I can manage to make out with the beef they give me here, although it makes me sick about once a month. The candy sent was perfectly elegant. I never enjoyed anything more in my life. I would not care if you would send me a small package of that whenever an opportunity presents itself. If not two[sic] much trouble. I have been feasting right much lately on robbin pies. One of my roommates \u0026 myself went out hunting last Saturday week, killed 19 birds. I gave Mrs. Bull six and get the Judge to cook the rest for me. I believe near half of the boys in the Corps were out yesterday, but all had bad luck, frightened every bird for ten miles around. I was wise for once, and did not go. I went up in Lexington yesterday to see young McCown, who brought my box up for me. I shall send this by him as he says he will go by Berry Hill Tuesday. He also takes a little bundle for cousin Sarah Bull, which you will please send her. It is from Mrs. Powers to her husband. Tell Mother when she writes again to send me some stamps. I cannot get them here. Fan, how do you suppose I spent yesterday evening? Why I saw a poor mink court marshalled by the boys (only greening him) for deserting his post, where they had stationed him the night before. After speaking on both sides the jury retired and soon reentered the hall. The sentence was read by the judge. The prisoner found guilty and had to be shot in one hour. The whole court was so much affected at this sentence that the judge had to tell them they must not give way in that moment to their grief. The prisoner was then told that he would only have one hour to live and asked if he had anything to say of if he did not want to write a letter home. He arose and endeavored to make an appeal to the commander the plea of ignorance and a promise to do better in future, but the poor fellow was so frightened that his speech made but little impression upon the court. He was then told to retire into the ante chamber where he could write his last letter, which he did and such a one you never saw. He told his sister when he kissed her and told her goodbye he never thought he would disgrace the family in that way. After finishing his letter he returned in the court room and was so much distressed \u0026 frightened that his lawyer again made an earnest appeal in his behalf and begged that they would grant him a reprieve for ten days, so that he might be better prepared to meet his fate. This was granted by the jury, but subject to the approval of Old Spex. The Sergt. Of the guard was then ordered to post 2 sharp shooters at each corner of barracks so as to prevent the prisoner from talking to anyone or attempting to make his escape. He took the proceedings of the court over to the Genl. who told him we were only greening him. When he returned and told us what Old Spex said, every boy roared out laughing. Our fun was then ended, the poor boy relived from his misery. He actually thought he was going to be shot sure 'nough. These are the kind of Cadets which are being admitted in the V.M.I. now. Do you blame us for having a little fun some times? Old Spex says we can substitute greening in the place of bucking for the new cadets. I was sorry to hear Tom Fry was wounded, hope he may recover. Will Mrs. F. go out to see him? Well I suppose Bob \u0026 Mollie are with you by this. What would I not give to be with you all. The receipt or arrival of my box and the thought of their living with you has made me awful homesick. I never was more so. I saw Dr. McGuire's mother at church this morning. She is a very sweet looking old lady. Say to Mother I believe I will wait for the new currency. I send the letter Mother mentioned. Now dear Sister I have written you a much longer letter than I expected to write when I first commenced and as it is getting late \u0026 I want to take this up town I shall have to bring it to a close. I have been writing in a great hurry which you can plainly see, so you must excuse this miserable scrawl. The paper sent was very acceptable. You see I have made use of it soon. Give my love to all the family and now for your darling self \u0026 husband accept a due portion. Kisses without number to Mary, Bev, and a kind remembrance to all enquiring friends.\nI remain your affect. brother\nBev.","P.S.

The prisoner was then told that he would only have one hour to live and asked if he had anything to say of if he did not want to write a letter home. He arose and endeavored to make an appeal to the commander the plea of ignorance and a promise to do better in future, but the poor fellow was so frightened that his speech made but little impression upon the court. He was then told to retire into the ante chamber where he could write his last letter, which he did and such a one you never saw. He told his sister when he kissed her and told her goodbye he never thought he would disgrace the family in that way. After finishing his letter he returned in the court room and was so much distressed \u0026 frightened that his lawyer again made an earnest appeal in his behalf and begged that they would grant him a reprieve for ten days, so that he might be better prepared to meet his fate. This was granted by the jury, but subject to the approval of Old Spex. The Sergt. Of the guard was then ordered to post 2 sharp shooters at each corner of barracks so as to prevent the prisoner from talking to anyone or attempting to make his escape. He took the proceedings of the court over to the Genl. who told him we were only greening him. When he returned and told us what Old Spex said, every boy roared out laughing. Our fun was then ended, the poor boy relived from his misery. He actually thought he was going to be shot sure 'nough. These are the kind of Cadets which are being admitted in the V.M.I. now. Do you blame us for having a little fun some times? Old Spex says we can substitute greening in the place of bucking for the new cadets. I was sorry to hear Tom Fry was wounded, hope he may recover. Will Mrs. F. go out to see him? Well I suppose Bob \u0026 Mollie are with you by this. What would I not give to be with you all. The receipt or arrival of my box and the thought of their living with you has made me awful homesick. I never was more so. I saw Dr. McGuire's mother at church this morning.

But nevertheless, I shall wave all ceremony and endeavor to drop you a few and I fear very uninteresting lines for I honor you home folks so often with my letters that there must be a good deal of sameness in them. This remembering that this is one of the dullest \u0026amp; meanest places in Christendom that is in my estimation and also of a great many of my fellow Cadets. But I shall not waist[sic] my time by heaping abuse upon Lexington and the V.M.I. You are well aware of my hatred for them both. Before going farther, allow me dear Sister to give vent to my feelings by expressing my grateful thanks for the nice box of eatables which you sent me. I can assure you I have enjoyed them no little and done justice to the box as well as my roommates, who said that it was the best that had been received in No. 38 (my room) and I think we have gotten four since the first of January. We played fearful havoc with the turkey pies and cakes. Nothing now remains I am sorry to say, but my ham which I hope to enjoy for some days yet as it was such a fine one. We only eat this as a snack. Mr. S surely must believe they came out of that small box. I invited or had besides my roommates (five in number) three of four of my friends (S.B. among the no.) to help me eat and there was plenty for all, not withstanding the tremendous appetites of the Cadets are noted for. Fan, where did you get a turkey from?  I did not think there was such a thing left in the county of Orange. Why did you not keep it, also the ham. I had much rather you should have done so, for I know how scarce such things are with you since you have had the army among you so long. You ought not to have deprived yourself of it. I can manage to make out with the beef they give me here, although it makes me sick about once a month. The candy sent was perfectly elegant. I never enjoyed anything more in my life. I would not care if you would send me a small package of that whenever an opportunity presents itself. If not two[sic] much trouble. I have been feasting right much lately on robbin pies. One of my roommates \u0026amp; myself went out hunting last Saturday week, killed 19 birds. I gave Mrs. Bull six and get the Judge to cook the rest for me. I believe near half of the boys in the Corps were out yesterday, but all had bad luck, frightened every bird for ten miles around. I was wise for once, and did not go. I went up in Lexington yesterday to see young McCown, who brought my box up for me. I shall send this by him as he says he will go by Berry Hill Tuesday. He also takes a little bundle for cousin Sarah Bull, which you will please send her. It is from Mrs. Powers to her husband. Tell Mother when she writes again to send me some stamps. I cannot get them here. Fan, how do you suppose I spent yesterday evening? Why I saw a poor mink court marshalled by the boys (only greening him) for deserting his post, where they had stationed him the night before.
