Petersburg is a town
of the size of Amherst.
A great deal smaller
as I look it over houses
all small, has no large
buildings save one the
Colored College on a hill as you
enter. This is an immense
brick structure.
Petersburg looks like a
place that if we captured
he wouldn't know what
to do with it; yet that it has
had its day is shown by the
fact that the Galovans
told us that Mac's Harnes
(Van Sorn) brigade was
to repeat its charge next
Friday. They say 15,000
people will be there I
don't know what they
will do with them!
