In the letter Blackwell discusses General Joseph E. Johnston's reappointment as commander of the Army of Tennessee: "Today Johnston received our Corps and as he passed each Brigade, three cheers were given in a very joyful tone and manner expressive of great satisfaction. The old General looks as usual, hearty and soldierlike. He is the most soldierly looking general I have ever seen. He is as well loved in this army among the men, as an officer can be. They have every confidence in him, and that alone will benefit the army and the service." |
