we are proud of our Leader and feel sure that another victory will be the result of the Coming Campaign. our Destination is as usual not Known but I presumn we will march on to Charleston S.C. We have last Received the news of the fall of Fort Fisher it is Glorious news, General Butler made a factor and the General in Command of that Department has been quite Successful our forces Captured 70 Guns and 1780 prisoners. General John. M. Corse is now Brevet Major General and is Entitled to his two Stars, the young man is quite proud of them, for my part I think Uncle Sam is piling it onto him rather thick he is a good officer but I fear the two Stars will Spoil him. the Coming Campaign promises to be a hard one on account of the weather, it is in this country
