BATTLE OF BLACK RIVER BRIDGE--CROSSING THE BIG BLACK--INVESTMENT OF VICKSBURG--ASSAULTING THE WORKS. 

We don dey sure say we dey between Johnston and Pemberton, without any chance for dem to join forces. Pemberton fit don do night march go Big Black, cross the bridge there and, by moving north for the west side, fit don dodge us and finally return go meet Johnston. But if e do so, we go get Vicksburg. E for be the correct move for am, and the one wey Johnston for do if e dey for Pemberton's position. Infact, e for dey in line with Johnston's orders to Pemberton. 

Sherman waka commot from Jackson with the last of im troops around noon on the 16th and e reach Bolton, twenty miles west, before e stop. Im rear guard no reach until two A.M. on the 17th, but dem continue their march by daylight. E release im prisoners for Jackson, and e no get choice but to leave im wounded for care of doctors and helpers. For Bolton, dem tell am about our victory. Dem tell am to start im march early the next day, and make e branch off from the road wey e dey go Bridgeport for Big Black River, about eleven miles above the place wey we dey expect to see the enemy. Blair dey ordered to join am there with the pontoon train as early as possible. 

This movement bring Sherman's corps together, and for a point wey I dey hope say we fit cross the Big Black River and use Sherman's corps to flank the enemy comot from im position for our front, so we fit open way for the rest of the army to cross. I tell am say I go try hold the enemy for my front while e cross the river.```
