Transcription Notes:
It's Bvt. Major Gen'l - Short for Brevet Major General - his rank.
I wasn't sure what to make of the two letters after the major's name.
and didn't know who to type the weird space in between "Charlottesville VA by" and the unknown word right after it.
Thank you!
No need to fill the space. We're just providing the text as it is written.
