MR.. w. r. g. Shnnks' Despatch.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., sept ri, 1858.
Ihave endeavored my already forwarded account OF
the days battles in this vicinity 20 avoid far
possible OF being minute reserving for tho
present and future letters the task OF giving the incidents
and details which have como under my observation.
Ones personal experience must enter largely into any
account OF general engagement witnessed. that fear
shall tho charge ego,sm for the language
Of much my Hrst letters and shall therefore avoid
much possible any relation 10 myself. You will find
this letter desutory enough. give the details without
regard the order Of their occurrence and, like the
groups Of soldiers around the camp fires, riot in do
s;rptions, without regard to time, place or unity.
