20TH TEXAS INFANTRY LETTER
<b>752. 20TH TEXAS INFANTRY LETTER </b>A.L.S. 1p. 4to., Galveston, Tex. Ap.16, 1863, in which J.E. Wallis of the 20th Texas writes his wife: "<i>...I have read and reread your letter time and again & it affords me a great deal of pleasure. Your earnest pleadings and solicitations cannot be thrown aside unnoticed, in regard to my being cut loose from this horrible war. Hence I must tell you candidly that I have been considering this matter for some time...I have become heartily tired of this life, so I have now set out with a full determination to get out of it if I can. I am trying to get a substitute...I expect that it will cost me a pretty good pile. I will write you from time to time to let you know how I come on...</i>". Very good.<b>
