Discusses the defense of Charleston. Apparently a retained draft, written on three sheets of white legal paper and another sheet of smaller blue ruled paper. Says of the Union "with their resources...they can supply every thing...the sickliness of the [season] is nothing to them as they have the scum of society in their army."
