Bishop writes Aldrich regarding a legal case concerning a lien on some property, in the post script he writes "The news from the South today is cheering-important & fully confirmed. Our troops have taken Port Royal, 2 or 3 forts & made a good landing on South Carolina soil & with reinforcements supposed to be on the way will probably take Charleston. In Kentucky, Gen. Nelson has obtained a most important victory--400 killed & 1000 prisoners among them 2 generals."
