Dover, December 17, 1863
Sir:
I have the honor to report that on my way down the river I landed at Seen-Mile Island and went out back about 2 miles with a force and destroyed a distillery belonging t Dr. Lyle. This distillery has been the means of causing boats to be fired into to, being a sort of rendezvous for guerrillas. There were several guerrillas at the distillery at the time, but, being mounted, they escaped us.
At Palmyra I also landed with a force and destroyed another distillery about 5 miles back. Guerrillas had staid [sic] here the night back. The latter distillery was owned by a man by the name of Nolan.
