1861 November 10

[from the diary of Wesley Hammond of the Dixie Greys, Co. E of the 42 Virginia]


Hear that we have to
stay here this winter, also
that Gen. Lee was in Charles-
ton S. C. and that 15,000
Yankees were shipwrecked
and destroyed near New Orleans
Boys fix a fire place to our
tent which made it very
comfortable.
