The article claims to be reporting information contained in a letter "received by a gentleman of high standing in this city, from a distinguished source in Washington." A manuscript notation in pencil adds, "This is from Judge Fisher at Washn. to Chief Justice Gilpin at this city. I saw the letter--It is reliable." This manuscript note also includes miscellaneous other information about the aftermath of the battle.
