2493 - L. June 13:3/2 - In a letter to the editor, N. F. Barrett says: "At
Coal Harbor we remained but a day or two, while General Custer destroyed
the railroad bridge over Mecump's creek on the Central road in the rear of
Lee's army. This accomplished, we moved back to White House, on the
Pamunkey river, where we again received rations and forage." (20)
