John Wheeler Letter : March 11, 1862

This is a letter from John Wheeler, a union soldier, to his family and friends back at home. Wheeler describes his latest march, taking him to Fairfax, which had already been taken, and Centreville, which had already been abandoned. The soldiers, including Wheeler, stayed in Centerville, a former Confederate fort, and collected souvenirs to send home. Then, they marched back to Fairfax to stay for a few days.
