Troops continue to arrive every day. This is a very good place to bring them to, as we have plenty to eat and comfortable accommodations.

They were doubted and their aid rejected. Had they been accepted, the negroes would have not triumphed. Most of the whites who escaped with life, were saved by the exertions of the free colored.
