Martinsburg, October 19th, 1859.
W. P. Smith.
Richardson and Wollett are both doing well, neither of them dangerously wounded. Wollett's wound is in the arm only, the bone is not injured, but the ball is not yet removed. Richardson will lose his eye, but the ball did not penetrate his head. They are both as comfortable, as can be under the circumstances.
W. A. GORTON.
