Patriotic letter
--The following is a copy of a letter written by Brig. Gen. Wise to Mr. C. Bias, of Sweet Springs, Va., acknowledging the receipt of a flag for the Legion:
The Confederate flag sent me by yourself, as Secretary of the Sweet Springs Valley Guard, was received yesterday evening; accept for it my grateful acknowledgements.
Waving in front of my Legion it shall guide as against the invaders of our soil, and be planted over them victoriously, or else baptized and re-baptized in blood, consecrated on the altar of Virginia and the Confederacy.
Whatever be our face, no stain of dishonor shall touch it, not more for our own sakes to whom it is given, than for your sakes who give.
