Description
Tells Maggie that they have been moved about thirty miles south in order to keep out of the way of the army and to lessen the work for the R.R. by foraging for themselves. Roberts says that there have been battles on the front that he has heard have gone well for Confederates, but knows no details. He also mentions that Capt. Timberlake has been relieved so he will not be transferred under him.
