Woodstock is the county seat of Shenandoah county and is a town of considerable importance but like most Virginia towns, it bears unpleasant marks of decay. Here the Manassas Gap R. R. follows on in its course, ending a few miles to the south of us. It is of no use to us for the Rebels have destroyed all they could of it in their retreat, by burning several fine bridges. It is of not much loss to us for it does not extend far enough to be of use very long…This part of the valley of the Shenandoah is rich in agriculture but as a large army has infested this region so long, it has been worse than the blight of locusts of old…I send you a specimen of C. S. Postage stamps which is a fair sample in point of execution of the most of their handiwork unaided by the "cursed Yankees."…" with mailing directions of "Co. "A" 39th Regt. Ill.
