� 30 February Sunday 16 "The Sunday Morning Chronicle" brings us still further intelligence of our successes in the west. Donalson [Fort Donelson] has been captured, and the celebrate Stronghold of Bowling Green has been evacuated by the rebels. Our brave troops are pressing fast after them as they fly toward Nashville. Buell leads the advance columns. Victory perches on our glorious banner. Glory and Praise to the Lord.
The day is most beautiful. Am in command of Co. H, and shall remain so at least for a week to come. Charles goes home tomorrow and father will soon be out here and I think enter the Government bakery at Alexandria.
