Crockett tells about being in General Pickett's Division and that General Longstreet's Corps is at this place.
Ivor Station is located between Petersburg and Suffolk,Va.He also writes that Colonel Giles did not obey the
orders to go to Wytheville or the Salt Works.So they marched from Petersburg to Ivor Station.
Next,Crockett states that they belong to General Corse's Brigade and they had caught two women that were
spies for the Yankees, having been paid a thousand dollars for their effort.He says he would give fifty dollars
to be home ten days so that he could go to the saceramental meeting at Sharon ( near Ceres in Bland Co. ).
