The Daily Dispatch: February 3, 1864., [Electronic resource], The expected attack on Mobile (search)
ated by a letter (dated 16th inst.) which we received yesterday from Richmond, enclosing an extract from a letter received by a high authority in that city from Annapolis. It is as follows. The delay which the date implies only shows the difficulty of sending information from beyond the Yankee lines: "Annapolis, Dec. 2d, 1863. Dear Sir. * * * I give you the important information that you may communicate it to you. Government that Mobile is undoubtedly to be at tacked by sea. Farragut has been ordered there and it is supposed his game will be to rush the forts, as he did at New Orleans, and then if the Rebs have not iron clads within the observations, the city will be at his mercy. This may be relied on. A resigned officer of the navy was told so by an officer who is to belong to the squadron, and who rook it for granted that his listener was as loyal as himself. You may rely upon the accuracy of this, has be very careful not to implicate, even over there, any of us.
