BEAUREGARD, Centreville, Virginia, 6 January 1862, 1 page, 8vo , a note expressing mild disapproval of the performance of then Colonel A.P. Hill: "I don't think that it would do for Hill to 'leave any force unless all his works are finished.' They could do nothing, & would be exposed. I don't like that bridge of ice. It will take away the great souce of fear to the Yankees. I wish that Hill had thought sooner of his forts."
