Autograph Letter Signed, “E.W. Woodson” 1p. quarto, Richmond, Virginia, May 13, 1862, and reads: “...I want you to send me word the day of the month and year that Archie was born. I want to have a tombstone put at the head of his grave, as soon as I am able to go out and attend to it, and I don’t know exactly his age, please send word as soon as you can, for tombstones are scarce and in such demand that they wont keep them for anyone, they have to take them away directly. I have been very sick but am getting better, yesterday was the first time I have been out of the House for a fortnight, I walked as far as the burying ground. I hope you are all well there is a great deal of excitement here about the Yankees, but I hope we may be saved from their hands yet...” VG.
