Union Lietenant Colonel killed in action at Gettysburg leading his Connecticut regiment in a charge. War-dated ALS signed “Henry,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.25 x 9.5, November 21, 1862. From Camp Tuttle, Virginia, Merwin writes his mother. In part: “We are under orders such as to be ready to move at a moment’s notice. The orders we rec’d Wednesday Morn about 4 am and it is now Friday night so you see we may not go at all…Capt. Cowles & our 1st Asst. Surgeon arrived last night. His name is Hill. I like him very much. I think he is smart.” Reverse of second page bears an address panel in Merwin’s hand In very good condition, with intersecting folds, ink and pencil marks to last page, intersecting folds, light overall toning and a few edge chips. Any war-dated correspondence from Merwin is quite scarce.
