[for the Richmond Dispatch.]note from Col.Kershaw.
"Camp Charleston," near Richmond, May 6th, 1861. Editor of the Dispatch:
--Permit me, through your columns, to correct an impression which seems to prevail in some quarters to the prejudice of the generous citizens of Richmond, originating in the circumstance that no public reception was given the troops of my command on their arrival here.
I desire to say that, having missed the connection at Wilmington, and having been detainedion at Wilmington, and having been detained many hours at Petersburg by the overflowing hospitalities of "the Cockade City," we could not suppose that the time of our arrival at Richmond could have been anticipated.
Our hearts have been filled with gratitude to the people of Virginia for the most generous, kind and complimentary attentions, every day and hour of our stay among them, and to none are we more indebted than to the citizens of Richmond. Very respectfully, yours, J. B. Kershaw.
