Description
Roberts writes that he has been constantly on the move since his last letter and that the fall of Atlanta was very unexpected for them, which he claims killed Hood as a general. Roberts also says that they lost many at the fight at Jonesboro and accomplished nothing. He then asks about the burning of Oxford, fearing for his wife and children.
