J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Appendix: letters from our army workers. (search)
Lord grant you entire success in your noble enterprise and abundantly bless you in all the work of your hands. Your unworthy Brother in Christ, Theoderick Pryor. From Rev. R. W. Cridlin, Baptist, chaplain Thirty-eighth Virginia. Chesterfield, March 22, 1867. Dear Brother Jones: Before going into details, allow me to state that I was appointed chaplain of the Thirty-eighth Virginia Infantry June 9, 1863, and remained with it to the surrender. （1.) I know very little about thegs (convalescent) Hospital, located in Powhatan county, Virginia, and aided the chaplain, Geo. W. Hyde, for three weeks in a series of meetings. About thirty men professed faith in Christ. I baptized some six or eight. Rev. D. B. Winfree, of Chesterfield, preached five times in the meeting. In June, 1864, by the request of Brother Hyde, I aided him again at the same place for two weeks. Our meeting was suddenly closed by a large number of men coming to the hospital and occupying the chapel.
