Headquarters First Brigade,
Fourth Div., Seventeenth Army Corps,
Camp Hebron, Miss., March 5, 1864.
My Dear Wife:
I have only time to
write a single line giving the assurance of my personal safety and the crossing
of my command over Black River, with but few casualties, after one of the most
extraordinary marches known to modern warfare. The particulars I will give you
as leisure serves hereafter.
