To Mrs. Lyon.
Fort Henry, Tenn., Wed. p. m., Nov. 12, 1862—We have but just arrived from our expedition. The mail is just going out and I have but time to say that I am well, having improved in strength rapidly since I have been gone. I got so I could ride on horseback all day. Morgan gave us the slip, but we ran upon Woodward, who has a band out there. There were 15 of their men killed. Our loss, two killed and a few slightly wounded. The killed were cavalry; the wounded, our men. The 13th are good fighters.
We marched 180 miles, went to Canton, La Fayette, Hopkinsville, Garretsburg (where the fight occurred), and Fort Donelson.
