Thomas J. Davis Letter : October 13, 1864

He details that they should soon be moving to Dalton seeing as the troops have been marching back toward Chattanooga. Davis writes that the 4th, 23rd, 14th, 16th, and 17th Army Corps have already passed and that the 15th will pass today. He also details that he is under orders to prepare to march at any time. Davis suspects that this marching order was put in place because Richmond was taken and Confederate General Lee is marching part of his Richmond force into East Tennessee in an attempt to cut off Union soldiers. Davis notes that the 20th Army Corps is still in Atlanta, and if General Sherman evacuates, the Corps will likely burn Atlanta and destroy the railroad behind them. Davis writes that they have been in Cartersville for three months and that Ed Rogers has still not received a letter from Elias. Davis notes that he no longer hears talk of the Regiment going home, and that he wishes Lucinda had sent him her picture. He concludes by noting that he plans to write a few lines to Marcia
