Diary of Brigadier-General Rutherford B. Hayes, Thursday, December 15, 1864

Cold, a little sleet. This evening we get the first message from Sherman's army. “So far all well,” says General Howard from camp five miles from Savannah. Rebel news is that a battle for the possession of Savannah was raging on the 12th. God protect the right!
