Description
Roberts tells of his travels to Columbus and rumor that the Yankees still have Murfreesboro in their possession and that the slaughter was terrible at the battle of Franklin. He says that he also heard a rumor that Sherman's Army had captured Savannah, but did not know if it was true. Roberts tells his wife that he plans to spend Christmas with Capt. Hughes going to church and then having dinner.
