Washington Saturday May 7th/64
We hear today that there has been two days severe fighting Thursday & Friday and the battle was expected to be renewed today. No decisive results so far as heard tonight, but the news as far as it goes (up to last night) is rather favorable to us. Lees Army had been driven three miles. We shall hear more tomorrow. I presume the fighting has been done near the old Battle ground of Chancellorville May 1st 2nd & 3rd of last year. We feel quite confident that this Campaign will be successful and will, if so, virtualy End the War. God grant it may all be so. Our Armies are all in motion. Genl Sherman is moving into the heart of Georgia from Chattanooga and Seigel is moving up the Shanandoah Valley.
