In a letter dated September 22, 1862, he said 'I hear a great talk of our troops going up toward Cattanugaa from awl accounts they air firing up for a big fight they air sending troops from different partes of the Confdrasy to Chattanuga our Leiagon has gone up thair so I hear I wish this cruel was would end....'
