Hill's Division enjoys as rich a dispensation of God's Spirit as General Early's. In General Pickett's Division, also, there are said to be revivals of religion. I give also the closing part of one of my own letters to the Religious Herald, written at this time: But I have saved the best for the last. There is a very interesting rh Carolina, twenty-five are reported as having made their peace with God. A quartermaster in Armistead's Brigade writes me that a good work has commenced there, and that nothing is so much needed as men to preach Jesus.

General Armistead was killed at Gettysburg. Our next gember, 1864, I conducted a meeting of great interest and power near the Howlett House, in a chapel built by the Twenty-eighth and Nineteenth Virginia Regiments, of Pickett's Division. It lasted two weeks and about thirty professed faith, some of whom were killed soon thereafter. Good order always prevailed, and the best attentiomy (about ten months), and on so limited a field, that I have but little of interest to narrate.
