Bull Nelson is a genuine Yankee-Mexican document: Headquarters Camp Hopeless Chase, Piketon, Ky.,Nov. 10, 1861. Soldiers: I thank you for what you have done. In a campaign of twenty days you have driven the rebels from Eastern Kentucky, and given repose to that portion of the State. You have made continued forced marches over wretched roads; deep in mud, badly clad, you have bivouacked on the wet ground, in the November rains, without a murmur.--With scarce half rations, you have pressed forward with unfailing perseverance. The only place that the enemy made a stand, though ambushed and very strong, you drove him from it in the most brilliant style. For your constancy and courage I thank you, and, with the qualities which you have shown you possess, I expect great things from you in the future. W. Nelson.
