LOVEJOY'S STATION, GA., September 4, 1864 –
11.30 a.m.
His Excellency President DAVIS, Richmond, Va.:
Unless this army is speedily and heavily re-enforced Georgia
and Alabama will be overrun. I see no other means to avert this calamity. Never
in my opinion was our liberty in such danger. What can you do for us?
W. J. HARDEE,
Lieutenant-General.
