Captain Charles Wright Wills: January 10, 1865

Thunderbolt, Ga., January 10, '65.

We joined the brigade in the suburbs of the city, and took the shell road to this place, only four miles by land, but 18 by water. There are some fine works here, erected by the Rebels to guard the water approach to the city. I send you a little chip of a palmetto log in a Rebel work here.
