[FLANKING HOOD OUT OF ATLANTA]: War-date Union soldier's letter penned by Corp. J. A. Morlan, Co. D, 107th Illinois Vol., 3pp. 8vo., "Three miles west of East Point, [Ga.], near M.[acon & Western] R.R, Aug. 4, 1864", concerning the movement of the Federal army over Utoy Creek in order to seize the Macon & Western RR, the last vital artery supplying Hood's army in Atlanta In part: "...We moved from our position South east of town on the night of the 1st inst...went about three miles & stopped till morning...our place [was] occupied by dismounted cavl. On the 2nd we moved to the extreme right & took up position on the right of Cox's Division that had proceeded us without any opposition yesterday...our division was ordered to take up position on the right front & flank of the third division...the 3rd suffered pretty heavily. The 14th Ky. lost their Col. killed by a shell while maneuvering his reg't. There was some extremely heavy fighting in front of the 20th Corps...the enemy charged them three times & were repulsed as often with heavy loss of killed, wounded & prisoners. The fighting extended to the 4th Corps where they also lost a good many. There are troops maneuvering on our right at present & our artillery is feeling for a reb battery & I may have to quit writing and take cover any moment...there was some five or six thousand Rebs killed & wounded & about four thousand taken prisoners. According to the prisoners acct. there is only one more killing left as they express it. The left of [the] Regt had to wade a mill pond...the bottom was quick sand. I was as near give[n] out when we got here...there is danger of an attack or move on any part of the line at any time...Capt. McGraw had resigned...his health has been impaired for some time & I don't blame him much for going home...". Later that month, the eventual capture of the railway left Atlanta untenable and the city was evacuated by the Confederates on the night of Sept. 2, 1864. Also included is the original transmittal envelope. Very good. $300-500
