Description
Robert Patterson wrote this letter to his father, Jefferson Patterson, on July 24, 1862 from Army headquarters in Sperryville, Virginia. In the letter he writes about infantry, cavalry and artillery being on the move and complains about Colonel Schliech and his method of appointing officers based on personal acquaintance and friendship rather than competence. He closes by saying they will be heading to Culpepper soon.
