a good Surgeon, kind and faithfull in the discharge of his duties, and a perfect gentleman, after the stile of Dr. Breckmenage. Since Sundown there has been heavy fireing in the direction of Vicksburg, from the sound I think the bombardment had commenced with more zeal than heretofore. All the boys have finished writing and want to go to bed, and as our sitting room has not much accomodations, must follow suit. Shall write another letter tomorrow if I have time. From Carlie
