Title: Letter, January 3, 1865, T.W. Brevard, "Near Petersburg, Va," to "My Dear Father," 6 pp., conveying war and family news similar to that in letter of January 2, 1865 (Box 6, File Folder 2, Item 1): "I hope that you find your new business a pleasant one, and that you may derive all the benefits from it that you anticipate. . . I am afraid that you will be very uncomfortable in your little house. . . I am confident that if the President had not interfered in the conduct of military operations, all would now be well. His campaign has been a perfect prodigy of absurdities. . . The army of Georgia had a first rate general . . . who had inflicted heavy losses upon the enemy . . . But Mr. Davis suddenly turned him away, and placed in his stead a man in whom neither the country nor the army trusted . . . Mr. Davis did not pause here. . . he sent Hood way up into Tennessee and opened the road to Savannah, through Central Georgia along a continuous line of most important rail-road. . . [His] absurd blunders have already perilled and well nigh lost the cause . . . Every Revolution has its gloomy hour - Let us hope that we have seen the darkest . . ."
