GRAHAMVILLE,
December 8, 1864.
[General BRAXTON BRAGG:]
The enemy are still
moving on toward Savannah, obstructing the roads in their rear, and resisting
warmly this morning. I cannot learn that any force of the enemy have crossed
the Savannah River. I hear artillery firing far in my front; do not know what it
means. The Fourteenth Corps and Kilpatrick's cavalry are on the river road,
Fifteenth on Middle Ground road, and Seventeenth, and probably Twentieth Corps,
on Central railroad. I think the force on the right bank of the Ogeechee must
be small.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOS. WHEELER.
(Same sent by
General Bragg to Col. John B. Sale, military secretary, December 9, 1864.)
