Brigadier-General Thomas Kilby Smith to Elizabeth Budd Smith, October 26, 1862

Headquarters First Brigade,
Fourth Div., Seventeenth Army Corps,
Natchez, Oct 26, 1863.

By former letters you will understand my heading and dates; lest, however, they should not have been received, I will recapitulate, by the remark that I have been relieved from the command of the Second Brigade, First Division, now employed at garrison duty in Vicksburg, and have been assigned to the command of the First Brigade, Fourth Division. My headquarters at present at Natchez and the same quarters I formerly occupied. This change is entirely agreeable to me, the command equally good.
