Fulkerson, \nBristol Tenn.","Dear Col;- \nAs you are going to the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington in a few days, I take pleasure in making you the medium of presenting to the Institute, as a war relic, a pair of old Binocular Field Glasses, of historic interest for all time to the Cadets.","The battle of New Market was fought on Sunday May 15th 1864. An incident of that battle was the capture of a Federal Battery, by a direct charge in front by the 62nd Regiment, Virginia Infantry of my Brigade, under the immediate command of Col. George H. Smith, and the Corps of Cadets of the V.M.I. commanded by Col. S. Shipp. The Federal Battery was on a high hill and had to be silenced before Genl. John C. Breckinridge could order a general assault along the whole line of the enemy, without the certainty of great slaughter of his troops and peril to the success of the movement. The capture of this Battery by a charge up the hill and directly in front, supported as it was by the veteran 34th Massachusetts Regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Lincoln, a most intrepid and gallant soldier, required as high discipline, courage and daring as were displayed at Gettysburg, on a grander scale to be sure, by Picketts Division of Virginians in their famous and bloody charge.","\nBut the old 62nd and the boys of the Institute were equal to the occasion. They charged up the hill at a double-quick to the very nuzzles of the cannon and took them, leaving the ground over which they had come without faltering, strewn with nearly half their bleeding comrades. The supporting Regt. of the enemy fled. Their brave Colonel in the effort to rally his men, fell fearfully wounded and was caught under his dying horse. In that sad plight Col. Lincoln attempted to use his pistol, but surrendered to a demand from Col.

June 14/64 \nDear Wife-","I send you a few lines to let you know that I am in good health. I wrote a letter to you when I was at Staunton giving you an account of the Battle at Peadmont. We left S for this place the 10th. L. {Lexington} is 36 miles from S. I got your letter of the 30th and 2 papers while on the march. We got here about 12 on the 11th. The enemy made a slight resistance but we soon drove them away. They burnt the bridge across the river and left. We had a few men killed and wounded.","This is a nice place. There is about 6 thousand inhabitants and the buildings are good. There was a military school here but we have burnt all the buildings. It was a pitty to do it but I suppose it could not be helpt. ","There would be no use in my attempting to give you any description of the buildings and their grandure. The Academy itself is 4 storys high, 250 feet in front and wings extending back from both sides 200 feet. There was 6 public librarys with more than ten thousand volumes of all kinds. There was about 50 splended shandeliers and any amount of fancy ornaments. There was a large statue of Washington in front with 6 fancy brass cannon, a present from the french Emperor and there was a gas house for lighting this alone and there was ten other buildings connected with it. And the ornamented shrubery and flowers and the gravel walks cant be beat. This all stood on the suburbs of the town on about 6 acres of ground but we burnt it all down, beside 3 mills and the dwelling and other buildings belonging to Gov. Letcher. He had left the town before we came in and had ishued a proclamation for the people to harris (harrass) us all they could. I believe that is the reason his buildings were burnt.","This place was the residence of the famous Stonewall Jackson. I saw [his] grave today. The army will move in the morning toward Lynchburg 34 miles from here. If the rebs can raise a force sufficient we will have a fight there or before we get there for that is one of their principal railroad points. But they must have a pretty strong force to beat us for we have 30 thousand men and Gen. Hunter is a good commander. If we move tomorrow we will pass the natural Bridge and that is a sight I should like to see.","I have not time to write much to you at this time for I want to send this back to Martinsburg with the ambulance train that are taking some wounded back. We have no regular mail and you need not be surprised if you do not hear from me often but you write often and tell me all the news,\nYour affect. husband \nSidney Marlin \nHere is some of my [Illegible] thought I had lost it.","Written from Lexington, Virginia, where Union forces were camped during Hunter's Raid.
