nothing here of n Summer Campaign and cant
tell IN fact whether Gen. Call intends 10 make one

and Fort Dranc are unfit for duty. They are
broken down by fever and aeuc. Ii nothing can
be done this summer, very much fear, |

next winter than the last. If Gen. Jrsup takes
the field, he will take II with greater advantages

and with troops too whom he can keep all the Fall,
