November 14, 1864.
Troops are coming in to-day on all the roads. ’Tis said that
we will be ready to move to-morrow. So be it. The cracker line is cut now and
we don't want to lie still eating up our precious rations. I was again over the
old position we occupied before Atlanta. I would like to be your guide over
that ground some day. Tremendous fires in Atlanta to-day.
