- David D. Porter Papers | Letter signed W.T. Sherman, headquarters, 15th Army Corps camp, to Porter. “I now send you a tracing of our map. Connecting our lines here with those of yours. I think it very correct. Our camps are almost afloat and the road worse than I can describe. We are literally mud bound. Should the river rise one foot now we will be almost forced to take to the levee and the trees. Our pickets report nothing new on the other shore on in the river below. I suppose we need not expect the <u class="emph">Queen of the West</u> for about five days.” (1 page), 1863 Feb 19
