Summary:Autograph letter signed. Kirkwood expresses his concern that the Union troops at Vicksburg will suffer because of high waters and dampness due to rain. He also fears that a "bold clash by the rebels to seize Memphis or some other point on the river above our army will command the river and cutoff supplies to the army."
