Dear Sister~
I fear the days are getting shorter and in my melancholy, so are my correspondences. Last I wrote, I was staying at the fort. The rebels were gaining ground and our troops were sparse.We could have used some reinforcements, but the remaining few brave soldiers held their ground til the very end. Once the Confederates breeched the fort gates, it was a most horrific sight inside the grounds. Our men were laying in defeat on the field. We did have a moment of peace Saturday evening and a visit by the families of the 15th Alabama. We dried by the fire and shared stories of home and past adventures. The few members of the 20th attending were most gracious. A big thank you to those who shared their yummy treats. I must go now, sister. I may not be writing for a bit, but if I do, I shall post it on the 20th's website. My love to Mother, ~Christabell
