Letter
Christopher C. Andrews to C. H. Dyer, September 3, 1864
HDQRS. SECOND DIVISION, SEVENTH ARMY CORPS,
Deval’s Bluff, September 3, 1864.
Capt. C. H. DYER, Assistant Adjutant-General, Little Rock:
The expedition got off soon after sunrise this morning. The time taken in wooding prevented their starting sooner. I sent every ettective man of the infantry here except the Fifty-seventh Colored, in all about 1,100. The Dove is expected with some of the Saint Charles troops, and perhaps I will send her up if she gets along in season. These steam-boat men, many of them, are disloyal, and are quite tardy in forwarding such expeditions.
Very respectfully,
C. C. ANDREWS,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
