Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyons.

Fort Donelson, June 11th, 1863.—It has rained considerably lately. The river is rising. There are five boats here tonight. They go up the river tomorrow morning. I send a guard of three companies under command of Captain Randall with them to Clarksville. They will escort back the Paymaster, who is there. I send the Nevada to bring them down. We shall be glad to see the Paymaster.
