Robert Henry Campbell, letter
June 3, 1861
“Our Company left Martinsburg… All of the Citizens were very sorry to see us leave. They say that if they are going to station a Company in Martinsburg, that they want us to come back. They say that we are the most gentlemanly set of men that they have seen, and that they would rather have us there than to have their own town Company.”
