Across the river opposit of Falmouth is the City of Fredericksburg where old Mcdowell lay all last sumer. the country around here is the best I have seen in Virginia, very level. The timber is mostly scrub oak and pine. I do not how long we shall stay here but I think not long. The rebs have burnt all the bridges here. The Aequia Creek railroad
