Charles Roberts To Maggie Roberts(13 February 1864), Charles Roberts

Correspondence

Roberts writes that he has been transferred to Cheatham's Division. States that while passing Jackson's Brigade, men in his Brigade thought their forms of punishment were cruel and decided to break into the guard house; four were captured. He says that more men may go over to stir up mischief simply out of boredom. He also writes of fear that the Union has captured Jackson permanently.
