 | | Brown was involved in the Southern Surgical Association, the Virginia Medical Society, and served as surgeon of the R.E. Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans in Alexandria. |
 | | Brown described Lee as "tyrannical, petulant and [having] insulting manners." There are no letters in the series written between October 20, 1861 and January 1, 1862 when Brown apparently joined the 43rd North Carolina. |
 | | Brown's 1862 letters include descriptions of the misconduct of married soldiers, his religious beliefs, Fort Johnson (near Smithville, North Carolina) and the Union blockades in the distance, and his troubles with his commission. |
