Colonel Lyon’s Letters.
Edgefield, April 3, 1864.—I have got nearly settled in my new tent. I have a floor and stove in it. Mr. Barker is here today. He is installed in his new place in Nashville and thinks he will get along. There is a house full at Morrison’s, Norcross, Noyes, Hewitt, Hollister, Dr. Smith, Lamoreau, Walters, the Chaplain, and myself. Wallahan and his wife are there, besides a number of refugees, I think, by their looks. There is some one in our old place. It makes me homesick to pass there. It is all cleaned up and looks so homelike.
I spent most of yesterday with Colonel Hobart. We dined at General Rosecrans’ headquarters, and visited the 22d Wisconsin. Met Colonel Straight again.
