To Whom It May Concern
(Column 1)Summary: In addition to all the good news for the South--the re-enlistment of the entire army, the support of the people for the Military, Tax, and Currency bills, the provision by the people of supplies for troops--comes the news that the crops should be plentiful this year. Since Virginia will likely be the scene of perhaps the greatest struggle for victory, a large and steady supply of crops is imperative. Rather than relying on crops coming from great distances, Virginia troops need the quick availability of local crops.
The Lull
