War-date Confederate medical staff non-commissioned officer's letter, 1p. 4to., written by Hospital Steward David F. Kagey (1834-1923), 25th Virginia Infantry, "Toms Brook, Shenandoah Co., [August] 14, 1864," reading, in part: "…we had orders this morning to prepare to move forward. The Yankees have fallen back to Cedar Creek. The skirmishers of our division have advanced as far as Hupp's Hill…the Yankees did not come this side of Strasburg. They knew it would not do to attack "Jubal" at Fisher's Hill. It is rumored…that Fitz Lee & Gen. Anderson are at Front Royal & had a fight with the enemy yesterday & whipped them. I hope it is true…we may move this evening…the news from Front Royal Valley is true…your Bro. D." Also included is the original Confederate used transmittal cover with "Aug. 16, Woodstock, Va." cancellation. Light toning, else VG.
