Background

Scope and content:

William H. Harrisonwrites to Dr. Arthur Brent, of Bremo Bluff, Fluvanna County, February 21, 186[6?], on Army of Northern Virginia, Headquarters Cavalry Corps stationery, [Richmond], Virginia, that he has not received copies of his newspaper. He asks Brent to have Mr. Cabell send it "immediately from New Yorkas I am most anxious to see its many pages at this momentous period." He expresses thanks that a split in the ranks has occurred and hopes that Andrew Johnson's veto message might crush [Benjamin Franklin] Wade, Mr. Wilson, and [Thaddeus] Stevens.
