Charles Roberts To Maggie Roberts (1 January 1865), Charles Roberts

Correspondence

Roberts writes that he has moved for the past week due to Union raids. He says that these travels have been difficult because of blood boils so he is hoping not to move out of camps until they are gone. Roberts fears that the Yankees have control of much of Tennessee, as well as Savannah and therefore prospects are not bright for the Confederates.
