floored, mess tent, with boughs & boards. Expect Lt. Col. A[yres]
& John tomorrow, also paymaster; At hos -- are building oven
to bake bread. rumor of battle soon --
My plan of the war is -- for Banks with his 75,000 men
to move ^'fr. N O.' up take Vicksburg, united with Rosecrantz
come up thro. East Tenn -- & take Richmond in rear --
While Foster demolishes Charleston, then take
Lee in rear while we assail him in front & flank
This would grind all to powder & restore Union! but
man proposes but God disposes --
