Written three miles from Nashville on the Franklin Pike. Writes that the regiment is on its way to Franklin. Describes the vast destruction of local property: "There are the ruins of several magnificent places between here and Nashville. The soldiers have stripped down the fences, cut down beautiful shade trees, and in some places commenced on the houses for fuel. Residences worth two years ago $100,000 are not now worth $2,000."
