RICHMOND [VA] WHIG, April 12, 1864, p. 1, c. 6
The Ladies of Charlottesville have recently purchased a rich and beautiful Confederate Flag, costing $500, which they intend presenting to 'Stuart's Horse Artillery.' On it will be inscribed in worked silk, "The Ladies of Charlottesville to Stuart's Horse Artillery, our Brave Defenders." It will be recollected that this corps drove back the Yankee Raiders in their recent attempt to come to Charlottesville.
