Verso: "A street in Smithville // Union troops preparing for an attack by the rebels from Wilmington. Contrabands throwing up earthworks // Feb 3rd // [Signed] J.B. // Smithville is one of the prettiest places that I have ever seen being one immense grove of Live Oak trees // The only drawback to the place are the inhabitants two thirds being nigs // [Signed] J.B."
