Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyon’s Letters.

Edgefield, Tenn., April 21, 1864.—Everything is in statu quo here. I have but little to do now but think and read. I begin to discuss the question in my own mind whether you had better not come down here after a little, after the spring campaign is fairly progressing, which will be in a month or so; then if we are left here we shall be pretty sure of remaining here all summer.
