This collection consists of a single post-war letter written by Charles H. Powell, a Confederate veteran who had served in Company F, 4th Virginia Cavalry during the American Civil War. Written at "Soldiers Home" (Lee Camp Soldiers Home, Richmond, Virginia), the letter is addressed to "Miss Dorris." Powell briefly mentions his intention to visit Hanover Court House to see the presentation of twelve historical portraits, then writes of having a copy of "Goochland in War Times by Mrs Buchanan." Powell argues that Buchanan had under-represented the county's participation in the Confederate Army and provides information on the various Confederate units organized in the county, particularly focusing on John H. Guy and the Goochland Artillery.
