Page 7: January 13,, Camp Franklin Va.The “Clipper” this morning brings us glorious news from Kentucky. Humphrey Marshall with his band have been scattered ignominiously by a small force of our troops, and that, too, without any show of fight on his part. The Expedition has already moved down the Mississippi. The Burnside expedition has got off safely. The Pensacola ran the blockade unharmed yesterday. Twenty two shots were fired at her. This was the cannonading we heard down the river. Have been studying Battalion and Brigade drills this morning. Am in excellent health. Sent letters by the mail to mother, J.H.C., & C.H.G. |
