running up White river, it is quite narrow, it will not average more than 100 yds. with a dence thicket of small poplar, and cane, a splendid place for guerillas to hide and shoot at us. I noticed that we were running with the current, and upon enquirery found that we were crossing in a slue, and were nearly to the Arkansas river, the cause of this was a sand bar at the mouth of the Ark. which makes it impassable to boats. In my last letter I sent you and I received from Capt. More acknowledging of the payment of that money to Esy. Kahdall, which I hope you will receive. Saturday Morn. We are going to land early this morning, so no more at presant. Yours etc. Carlie
