Many reports of the great battle came late last night and
this morning. Great cheering and rejoicing. Our gallant Phil rode from
Winchester to the army and saved the day. Expressions on all sides, General
Sheridan was never defeated. Jubal Early found out that our gallant Phil
Sheridan was in command of the Shenandoah Valley and he had the men to back him
up. The talk in camp is the war will soon be over.
