Annotation
[1] ALS, RPB. General Dix replied on the same day, ``No iron-clads have left for two days. The Weehawken is at Norfolk; the Patapsco is here, waiting for favorable weather, and the Nahant is at Newport News. I have just telegraphed to General Halleck our success in a fight with [Roger A.] Pryor.'' (OR, I, XVIII, 530).
