Battle of Atchafalaya river-letter from General Thomas Green.
[The following letter, from one of the most gallant and successful Generals, of the Trans-Mississippi Department, gives, with all the freedom of private correspondence, a vivid description of a hotly contested fight.
We are anxious to obtain more material from the Trans-Mississippi Department, and are taking steps to secure it.]
headquarters forces on Atchafalaya, October 1, 1863. my Dear wife:
I am yet in the land of t approaches.
There have been very few deaths so far. If I had a little good brandy or whisky, or even (Louisiana lightning) rum, I could break my dumb chill in a minute; but there is nothing of that kind in the wilderness of the Atchafalaya.
I will try very hard to get a furlough, unless I find that active operations are again close at hand.
Major and Leigh were with me in the fight on the 29th, and are well.
The messenger is waiting for this.
Yours devotedly,
(Signed) Thomas Green.
