/ We are requested to publish the fol-
lowing private letter:
Hudson City, Dec. 9th, 81
! DEAR FRIEND: / have just returned
! from scout Of sixty-iye miles. | went
with two companies under my command,
and Col. Foster commanded two other
companies. We took about twenty-five
/ prisoners, all of which had been in the
Southern army, and some of them were
at the battle of Athens. After We got
out about fifty miles Col. Foster went one
direction and | another in order to sur
prise an encampment of rebels, but by
some means they learned that we we're af-
ter them and they scattered. | met twelve
and captured them all. among whom was
Captain and Lieutenant. One of the
prisoners that captured said he left
Prices army on the 9th of Nov. land
he had pass to that effect dated the 9th.
He says that Price will have to fight or
disband In three weeks. He says lie has
not got the provisions to last longer than
three weeks, and they arenot to be had in
the country. And he further states that
Price will march on to Jefferson City in
few days. The report is, that we will
have fight on the Missouri river some
where soon We don't fear an attack here
any more than we did at Alex andria we
have our pickets out all the time
OF all the distressing looking places
this part of Missouri is the worst. Ii is
distressing tn look on what few families
are lett, as they are not more than half
clad and not provisions to half feed them.
Corn is twenty cents a bushcl hay il not
plenty
We are getting along well We have
about twenty in the hospital sick with the
measles and chills, none dangerous.
Give my respects to your family and
take a good portion to yourself.
Yours fraternally, u. Mex.
