Edwin Johnson of the Greys was killed. The man that went in side by side with me to the fight was killed, and several others, about half of the company were wounded. The 27th Virginia had only 129 officers and men present during the battle. I received the Central Presbyterian Weekly for about three months commencing sometime in the month of March, but I have got none since sometime in June. I suppose they have stopped sending them to me.
Good papers are most welcome visitors in our camp.
I received your letter informing me that you sent the money for the paper, for me. I would be glad to get home now but there is no chance unless I get wounded or sick. James T. Paxton died at a Jordan's Springs Hospital near Winchester on the 26th of June. He was a member of our company, a member of the Presbyterian Church in Fairfield and son of Col. Tom. Paxton of Fairfield.
