[Letter from Kenner K. Rector to Effie Watts, June 16, 1862]

Letter from Kenner K. Rector to Effie Watts, discussing how the Yankees turned the tables on them. By making the rangers retreat for days not able to cross the river, with barely any food to eat to where mush had to be created. Continued killing or capturing the enemy and not much news from Texas so it worries him.
