June 17th. [1862] [Baton Rouge, Louisiana]
Yesterday, and day before, boats were constantly arriving and troops embarking from here, destined for Vicksburg. There will be another fight, and of course it will fall. I wish Will was out of it; I don't want him to die. I got the kindest, sweetest letter from Will when Miriam came from Green well. It was given to her by a guerrilla on the road who asked if she was not Miss Sarah Morgan.
