1862 June 11,,
Near Newbridge
Chickahominy
Am unwell—Dr. Burr says
my complaint is bilious and has
given me a powder to take before
going to bed tonight. Good news reach us today.
Memphis has fallen and now the
Mississippi is open to us throughout
its entire length. Mobile + Charleston
are also strongly menaced by our
gun boats. Paid fifteen cents for a
newspaper. We remain in the same
attitude here as before excepting
that there was a little artillery
practice this evening.
