The Cruel Side of War - Katherine Prescott Wormeley

Off Norfolk, Sunday Evening, June 29.

We are coaling here to-night, and leave at daybreak for Harrison’s Bar, James River, where our gunboats are said to be. We hope to get farther up, but General Dix warns us that it is not safe. What are we about to learn? No one here can tell.
