update 1862 Steven. B Madden

Dear: Mabel

The war has been going by so far we have won two battles and have been doing good so far on leading are troops and gathering supplies right now I am placed in a camp in Virginia. There was a battle in Sharpsburg Washington we did not win the battle but we showed the Yankees what we re made out of. General lee did a amazing job leading the army we fought hard but the north out numbered us and took control of the right flank.  We lost a 10,320 of are men and was a terrific fight but those that we lost gave a amazing fight to the north and showed the souths power. There was a other battle in Virginia were the bull run battle was, General lee lead the battle and Stone wall Jackson . We successfully won the battle Against early union soldiers  and  showed the north are good leading and statics. But overall we have taken the upper hand in this war and are planning to win.
      

Sincerely: ur husband Steven B. Madden
