War-date Confederate medical staff non-commissioned officer's letter, 3pp. 8vo., written by Hospital Steward David F. Kagey (1834-1923), 25th Virginia Infantry, "Camp at "Darksville", Berkley Co., Va., 4 miles below Bunker Hill, August 3, 1864," reading, in part: "…we have just received orders to prepare 2 days rations & be ready to move at daylight. The direction is quite uncertain…I would be glad to get you girls some goods and articles you need were it not…that I would prefer to remain on this side of the Potomac. Some of the cavalry are on a raid…on the other side of the river…I don't think that I need anything from home in the way of clothing. If we go towards the enemies country I will need nothing …if however we do not, I may need another white shirt…send me a wheelbarrow full of Confederate money…Dave." Near fine.
