Autograph Letter Signed, Joseph Foreman, 126th Ohio Volunteers, 3-1/2p. quarto, Camp Near Warrenton's Junction, November 4, 1863, with cover, it reads in part: "…I don't think we will go much farther soon as they have quite working on the rail road except the Warrenton branch, their will soon be two more Corps of this Army go to Tennessee. I think the Sixth and Fifth will go General Bufords Cavalry is also to go. They will cut their way right through to General Burnsides Army. I think the seat of war will be transferred to that section of the country…Old General Lee has sent the most of his forces to Bragg. I don't think there is much of a force of the Rebels in our immediate front now…" Fine.
