Brigadier General Thomas Kilby Smith to Elizabeth Budd Smith, September 1, 1863

Headquarters Dept. Of The Tennessee,
Vicksburg, Sept. 1, 1863.
My Dear Wife:

I am about to accompany General Grant to New Orleans; shall start this evening and be gone some eight or ten days, so that if you do not hear from me as regularly as usual you must not be anxious.
