English: "U.S.S. Brooklyn
New Orleans April 24th 1862 My Dear Parents "Victory" "Victory" "Victory" is about all I have time to say. Will write full account soon as possible. Just this minute came from City of New Orleans where we raised two flags. Had a desperate fight at Fort Jackson and Fort St. Phillip besides several smaller batteries destroying 11 rebel gunboats. Our loss on Brooklyn is 9 killed and 21 wounded besides the ship is badly cut up. We lost two gunboats sunk in engagement. Please excuse brevity as I have not one minute to spare. Good Bye. Affectionately Charley "New Orleans is ours"" From the Charles H. Morrison Collection (COLL/5376) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
