Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyon’s Letters.

 

New Orleans, Fri., July 14, 1865.—We arrived here at eight o’clock this morning, sound and well. I found that our corps have moved and are moving for Indianola, Texas. Our division went several days ago. Lieutenant Fowle and I leave tomorrow on steamer Zenobia.

This is a beautiful city and the cleanest one that I ever saw. There is some talk that our division goes to Austin, which is said to be a healthy place. I hope so. I go on board of the steamer soon
