Letter to his wife, written from Adams Run, South Carolina. In part: “My regts are returned from Florida and nearly all the troops on both sides have left there—so says Tabb who returned yesterday. He is asleep this morning in my room, very well & well pleased with his campaign down there. And deserters tell us that the enemy are not over 3000 strong in land forces on the island near Charleston. The troops removed have been sent to Grant—And from Charleston Beauregard & Brigade after Brigade have moved away, and yet we are kept here under Maj. Genl. Sam: Jones.” In fine condition, with tape remnant along hinge of back page, intersecting folds, and a bit of light toning.
