Lewis, at Forts Jackson and St. Philip respectively, and most efficiently did they aid in this department. Doctor Bradbury remained at Fort Jackson until its fall, and was paroled. Doctor Foster, at my request, accompanied the wounded soldiers to the city on the Confederate steamer McRae. Messrs. Fulda, Stickney, and Sergeant Y. R. Poindexter, Fourth Mississippi volunteers, telegraphic operators, rendered the most valuable services in keeping open our communication above and below, under the most dangerous and difficult circumstances.
