	Title:	Letter, February 27, 1865, T.W. Brevard, "Near Petersburg, Va," to "My Dear Mother," 4 pp., conveying war and family news: "I am becoming as anxious about you as you have been about me. The papers publish nothing whatever of Sherman's movements . . . it seems to me that he ought to be beaten thoroughly, if Genl Beauregard has concentrated the entire available force at his command . . . With regard to Robert I scarcely know how to advise you. When it shall become necessary for him to enter service, by all means send him to Florida . . . Do not permit him to join in N.C. or here with any understanding in regard to future transfer. The officer receiving him would have no right to make any such promise . . . The army is in more feeble heart than I have ever known it. . . My best officer Capt Floyd was killed on the 5th inst. He was a son of Col. Robt. Floyd of Apalachicola, who I suppose was well known to Father. For many years he was Presdt of the State Senate. . ."
