What a terrible loss!
Though it was not a great loss of life, the loss that comes with forfeiting the Mississippi River makes me think this war will soon be over. The south has put up a good fight, but without our most beneficial natural resource, I don't believe the Confederacy will be able to continue their fight. I am saddened to report this news, but I have no doubt in my mind that the South is fighting for a lost cause. Thank you for all of the support we've received from everyone in Carolina. I know the Confederacy army appreciates the support for their efforts as much as we have appreciated their efforts in this war. I believe we are simply waiting for the day that the South surrenders now. God bless you all.
