Descriptive InformationLetter to Brooks from Dalrymple regarding facts Dalrymple obtained from a wounded Major on board Steamer Cosmopolitan. These facts relate to Fort Wagner's construction and Engineers. Dalrymple writes that if Brooks calls and sees the Major, Brooks will gain valuable information in regard to Forts Wagner and Gregg.

Transcription[Letter, continued] The Cosmopolitan has sailed for Morris Island and will remain there some days. The Major is on board and if you will call and see him, I think you will gain some valuable information in regard to Fort Wagner and Greg [Gregg?]. He is very gentlemanly and pleasant and unreserved in conversation. I regret I had so short a time to converse with him, as I wished to give you more particulars than you will receive by this letter. Yours Truly; A. P. Dalrymple; Surgeon N. Y. [New York] V. [Volunteers]
