March 14, 1861; The Charleston Mercury
A close observation with the aid of a large glass, shows that the parapet guns facing Fort Moultrie have been concentrated on the east face of this work, to bear on Coming’s Point; it is possible, however, that some of these could be brought to bear in the direction of Moultrie, if mounted on traverses. The guns are apparently crowded, and this shows that Major ANDERSON proposed paying his respects to a considerable extent to the ugly looking batteries on the point.
