		This is a fine rich country, Lost Mountain is beautiful, it is perfectly round stands alone in a valley, and rises several hundred feet, and seems to come almost to a point at the top.
		I was up to the top of Little Kennesaw, a few hours ago, and had a view of the country for twenty miles around.
		The mountain is about eight hundred feet high and the view is grand and imposing, I looked down upon Gen Sherman's army and encampments and concluded he would have to make some changes, if we ever get the 1st Mo Battery in position on that perch.
