The Daily Dispatch: November 25, 1862., [Electronic resource], Affairs at Fredericksburg. (search)
. --About 6 P. M., the following note was received from Gen. Sumner, which up to this writing closes all conferences, and the town still stands: Headq'rs Right Grand Division, November 22d, 1862. To the Mayor and Common Council, Fredericksburg, Va.: I am authorized to say that so long as no hostile is made from the town, it will not be I have also to say that there will be no firing upon the cars before 11 o'clock A. M. to-morrow. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, R. V. Sumner, Brevet Major-General, U. S. A., Comd'g. A copy from the original — Tests. G. F. Chew, C. C.
