SAVANNAH,
December 15, 1864.
(Via Hardeeville 16th.)
His Excellency President DAVIS:
Sherman has secured
a water base, and Foster, who is already nearly on my communications, can be
safely and expeditiously re-enforced. Unless assured that force sufficient to
keep open my communications can be sent me, I shall be compelled to evacuate Savannah.
W. J. HARDEE,
Lieutenant-General.
