 Rear Admiral John A.B. Dahlgren, in charge of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron writes:“I wish I had the time, my young friend, to write you, as you ask, a short letter, but every moment is engrossed. Perhaps you might like to see what’s before my eyes - Sumter crumbling away before our cannon, which sound incessantly.”
