War-date Confederate officer's letter, 1 1/3pp. folio., written by Lieut. Mann Page [WIA Cedar Mountain, Va., Aug. 9, 62], 21st Virginia Infantry, Keswick Oct. 29, 1863, to his uncle, David Copeland Randolph, reading, in part: "William [his rehired servant] got here yesterday bringing a letter from Aunt Funt to Copeland in which she informed us of the death of your darling little boy. It was very unexpected to me…I am happy to know that both of you having long since put your trust in him…may the God of mercy guide you both through the sad hours of affliction and comfort & bless you both in the end…I had hoped that he would be raised to perpetuate the name of Randolph and go forth in the world to be one of the brightest ornaments but alas how little we know what a day may bring forth …get Mr. Nesbit to make me a great coat at once…Mann Page."
