Transcription[Letter, continued] 5; The accompanying journal records, with considerable minuteness, in accordance with your instructions, details of the siege operations. It embraces an account of methods used and progress made, Officers and troops employed, dangers and difficulties encountered as compiled from the construction reports of superintending engineer officers, my own official communications and reliable private diaries. In a few instances, grammatical errors of documents herein incorporated, which had been hastily prepared during the active operations, have been corrected. In order conveniently to connect this record with others that may be submitted to you, I have noted several important facts relating to the siege, not necessarily belonging to my report.
