Scope and Contents
Barrier left Petersburg the previous day and arrived in Tarboro the day of his writing: "I do not know our destination but there is rumor that we are to march against Washington and Plymouth and perhaps Newbern. You may expect to hear of some lively times from this quarter very soon." He urges his father not to worry, as they are "expecting to move with a pretty large expedition."
