Captain Charles Wright Wills: November 14, 1864

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.
