A Lyman & myself spent an hour in conversing abut the war
Brother G. A. Smith said He believed their Artillery could be
taken with but little loss by rushing in the night into ther encampment

tongue & draw it off on horse back upon a gallop all being
mounted on good Horses & before the enemy were prepared for
defence their cannon would be leaving them
